Time 32m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ cups candy-coated chocolate eggs (such as Cadbury Mini Eggs®)
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place chocolate eggs into a resealable plastic bag; seal the bag. Mash chocolate eggs with a heavy measuring cup a few times. You don't want them pulverized, just cracked into small-to-medium-sized pieces.
  • Combine flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter. Beat using an electric mixer until you get a workable dough. Add the crushed chocolate eggs and mix until well combined.
  • Roll dough into ping pong-sized balls. Flatten balls slightly and lay onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the very edges of the cookies start to brown, about 22 minutes.

These cookies were delicious! The shortbread was buttery and crumbly, and the chocolate chips added a nice touch of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.
