Mini Egg Cookies

Easy Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies recipe. This makes a simple, nut free last minute dessert or snack idea to make for Easter.

Today is the first day of Spring Break. First day, with no where to go.

I really can’t complain though. My school had a protocol wayy early on in the “unlikely event of our school closing”.

We set up Zoom conferencing. We taught the students how to use it.

Then we closed down the school a week later. It’s crazy how quickly this has escalated. 

So we experienced online teaching for a week, and I have got to say, I am loving it.

For one, the students are so bored quarantined at home, they are almost glued to the screen, trying to absorb everything I am saying.

And second… my home office is right next to my kitchen. Which, of course, means baking in between classes.

And while Easter will probably not be a huge get together this year, you can still make yourself a treat! 

These Mini Egg Cookies are the perfect treat for Easter.

My Easter dessert go-to is usually these Weetabix Chocolate Nests. John requests them every year, so I have long since memorized that recipe. But I think that these cookies are quickly becoming another Easter tradition in this house.

While everyone around me is stocking up on toilet paper, I’m over here stocking up on Mini Eggs.

Because toilet paper is sold year round. I think I only have a good 35 days left before Mini Eggs are gone from the shelves.

Making the most of this time, and making these cookies (and those chocolate nests of course) on repeat 💕.
