CADBURY MINI EGGS COOKIE BARS

Remember last week when I made Squash Chips? Those were healthy. Then I went on a crazy sweets kick. First monkey cupcakes, then chocolate cupcakes filled with vanilla buttercream and now…Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookie Bars.

I was innocently checking out at Target the other night when the Royal Dark Cadbury Mini Eggs started calling my name. I don’t eat the cream filled eggs. Ew. But the mini eggs? Especially the dark chocolate ones? Those I look forward to every year. I hadn’t even finished eating all the cupcakes yet when I made these.

You wouldn’t even think I was going to Mexico in exactly one month and ~~had~~ have healthy fitness goals.

These are going to my cousin’s birthday party tonight so I don’t eat them all myself.

Cadbury Mini Eggs baked into a cookie bar are the best way to celebrate springtime!

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks butter, softened (I always use salted)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Approximately 1 cup of Royal Dark Cadbury Mini Eggs, smashed

Directions

Preheat oven to 375.
Grease a 15 x 10 jelly roll pan and set aside. I use The Pampered Chef Stoneware pan.
Put around half of a 10 oz. bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs into a ziploc bag and smash with a rolling pin. Or you could coarsely chop them. I smashed. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda & salt and stir.
In a large bowl (I used my stand mixer), beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy.
One at a time, add eggs, beating well after each addition.
Gradually beat in the flour mixture. I always add it in thirds.
Stir in the crushed Cadbury eggs.
Spread into a greased jelly roll pan. I also stuck a few whole Cadbury eggs into the top of the batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

Recipe Notes

Source: I put Cadbury eggs into the Nestle Tollhouse classic recipe

Depending on the size of your jelly roll pan, you may have some extra dough. I typically have enough for six cookies in addition to the bars.
