A Neat Treat

I found this recipe on Pinterest and I wanted to try them. They are just so cute!

EASTER EGG HUNT COOKIES

INGREDIENTS:

2 1/2 C. Flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt
1 C. Crisco (or 1/2 C. Crisco & 1/2 C. Butter)
3/4 C. White Sugar
3/4 C. Brown Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 Eggs
24 Mini Cadbury Cream Eggs

Optional:
Green Frosting
Jelly Beans or M&M's

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a mini-muffin pan. Cream Crisco/Butter, Sugars, and Vanilla. Add Eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl combine Flour, Baking Soda and Salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients. The dough will start to pull away from the side of the bowl. Using about a tablespoon of dough wrap the Mini Cadbury Cream Egg so it's completely covered. Place in Mini Muffin Pan. Bake for about 9 minutes, or until golden. ***IMPORTANT*** Let the cookies cool in pan for about 10-12 minutes until you can "twist" it out. Using your fingertips gently try to twist the cookie to remove it. If cookie seems too soft like it will break apart wait 2 minutes and try again. If your muffin tin is greased the cookie will lift out whole after about 10-12 minutes. But do not let your cookie cool completely in tin or it may adhere itself to the pan and then you will have to scrape it out. Let cookies cool completely on wire rack. Top with Frosting and Jelly Beans or M&M's. Enjoy!

These are the cutest things I've ever seen!
