Creme Egg Cookies

As it nears Easter, the stores are now full of Easter Eggs, perfect opportunity to get baking! My honey loves Cadbury Creme Eggs so I made these chocolate chip cookies with Mini Creme Eggs melted in place on top.

Creme Egg Cookies

Makes 18

125 g Butter, softened
1/4 Cup Stevia (or sugar)
4 Tbsp light sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 Cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 Cup milk chocolate chips
9 mini Cadbury Creme Eggs, halved

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with baking paper (you will probably need two, if you only have one, just cook the cookies in two batches).

2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the condensed milk and vanilla and beat until well combined.

3. Sift in the flour and baking powder, add the chocolate chips and stir the mixture until combined.

4. Roll out approximately teaspoon sized portions of the mixture and press gently between your hands to make a cookie. Add half a creme egg to the top of each cookie and bake for 20 minutes.
