Cadbury Egg Cookies

1/2 C Crisco
1/2 C Butter
1 C brown sugar
1 C white sugar
2 Eggs
1 1/2 t vanilla
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
2 1/2 C flour
6T unsweetened cocoa powder
1 10 oz bag Cadbury Mini-Eggs

Preheat oven to 350. Chop up the Cadbury Eggs.  Cream together the butter, crisco, brown sugar and white sugar. Add in eggs one at at a time and the vanilla. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Add to the butter mixture to combine and then mix in the candies.
Drop onto a cookie sheet and bake for about 8-10 minutes.

I used Peanut Butter M&Ms, which were yummy, too.  These would be so festive with the holiday candies that come in red, white, and green.

Don't forget, if you want your cookies to look pretty, save a few egg pieces for the tops of the cookies instead of putting them all in the dough.  And don't push the candies too far into the cookies before baking them, or they will be flat.
