Mini Eggs Sugar Cookies

 Mini Eggs Sugar Cookies

1 cup Mini Eggs, chopped *

3/4 cup Butter

3/4 cup Sugar

1 tsp Vanilla

1 large Egg

1 Egg Yolk

2 tsp Milk

1 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp Flour

3/4 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Baking Soda 

1/4 tsp Salt

1/4 cup Sugar, for rolling

Extra Mini Eggs for topping

*I like to use the macro mini eggs to avoid chopping.

Cream butter and sugar for about 2 minutes or until pale and fluffy. Add vanilla, egg and milk; mix until combined.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Gradually add the combined dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture.

Cover and refrigerate for about an hour. 

Preheat oven to 350° and line cookie sheet with parchment paper. 

Put sugar into a small bowl. 

Use a cookie scoop to scoop up dough. I make them about 50 grams each. Roll into balls and then roll them in sugar. Place the dough balls 3 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Press down and press a few pieces of mini eggs onto the top of each cookie.

Bake for 9-10 minutes or until evenly golden and the edges are browned.
