Chocolate Creme Egg Cookies

Can you believe I still have creme eggs left? It's crazy! I didn't want to just eat them all in one go so decided I would bake them into cookies. These turned out so good, and were all eaten on the same day! To find out how to make these, keep reading!

Ingredients (makes around 8-10 large cookies)
180g unsalted butter at room temperature.
300g Caster Sugar
250g Plain Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 Egg
50g Cocoa Powder
5 Creme Eggs

Method
Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Then add your egg, and mix well.

Add your dry ingredients and mix until you get a dough like texture. If it is too sticky, add more flour. If it is too dry, add a dash of milk.

Chop up your creme eggs into small pieces. I popped mine in the fridge for a while first so the 'goo' wasn't all sticky.

Mix the creme egg into your cookie mixture.

Roll into balls and pop onto a greased baking tray. Spread these out as they do grow quite large! I think mine were slightly too sticky but that didn't affect the final outcome, it just made my hands a lot messier!

Bake for around 12-15 minutes on 180 degrees C. When these come out of the oven they do not look cooked, they are still gooey. This is perfect. Leave them to cool for around 25 minutes and they will harden on the outside, but remain soft in the middle. So delicious. Enjoy!

A day out in Sheringham - Norfolk.

I love exploring local places and Sheringham is a lovely seaside town less than an hour away from my house. Me and my boyfriend visited here after our day at The Pigs and we got really lucky with the weather. It was a bit chilly as it was only March, but the wind was low so when the sun was shining it was lovely.

I didn't get many pictures of the town center unfortunately but it was lined with lots of little independent shops ranging from Fishing Tackle shops to Homemade Fudge (yum!). There is a market on Saturday's too, but we went on a Friday.

Sheringham used to be heavily involved in the fishing industry in the 1900's.

I love these beach huts, they're so cute. The pastel colours really caught my eye.

Seaside Chips

I always have to have chips at the seaside. These were amazing, I hadn't had any for so long I enjoyed every bite. And you have to eat them with a wooden fork, they just seem to taste better does anyone agree hah?
