Mrs Cropley’s Creme Egg Chocolate Cookies! I meant to bake these on Monday, but got called in for my second jab and have been a bit fluey for a few days. The cookies are pretty rich and gooey and for all lovers of Creme Eggs they are awesome! Enjoy! 🐣🍫🥚⭐️

Wow! They look 😋 yummy.

[Horsewhisper in reply to panther50]

Thanks Panther! They tasted pretty scrumptious too! 😁

[svfarmer]

Omg these look so delicious- did you put an actual cream egg inside the cookie then baked it? Xx

[Horsewhisper in reply to svfarmer]

Yes - and to prevent the eggs from leaking all over the oven during baking, I froze the Creme Eggs for a couple of days beforehand. I made our favourite cookie dough (chocky of course!) and wrapped each frozen egg in the dough and baked at 200 ‘C fan oven for 10 mins. 🤗😘🤗

Oh yummy they look delicious. I hope you are feeling a lot better soon xxx

[Horsewhisper in reply to CecilyParsley]

Back on track now CP - thanks for your kind wishes and I hope things are picking up for you now too? 🌺😘🤗😘

[CecilyParsley in reply to Horsewhisper]

Glad to hear it. I will have to live vicariously through your baking now as I have torn three tendons and muscle in my leg and am on strict rest for three months 😞😫 xxx

[Horsewhisper in reply to CecilyParsley]

Oh CP - that’s awful. Such bad luck and very debilitating. I’ll bake some more goodies to cheer you up. I hope you are not in too much pain? Take good care and rest that poorly leg 🙏🌺🤗😘🤗

[CecilyParsley in reply to Horsewhisper]

Thank you so much. I won’t lie it is excruciating. My morphine doesn’t touch it but thankfully the Gabapentin helps. Because the only comfortable position is a bent knee I have to keep it straight with the foot turned upwards stretching the tendons. It hurts like hell and I admit I just cannot stand it for long. When I walk my kneecap slides from side to side which makes me nauseous but I am already fed up of sitting and lying down but the warning that I will need months of physio afterwards and potentially an operation is too daunting to not sit. Thank goodness for Now and Netflix. I look forward to seeing your next creation xxx

[Horsewhisper in reply to CecilyParsley]

Oh goodness - sounds like you’re in it for the long haul, how unfortunate to have that happen to you. Hopefully things will get easier as time passes but yes, it’s easy to feel fed up when you can’t move around very much and do things. I’ll see what I can rustle up in the kitchen to bring you some cheer! 🍰🤗😘🤗

[CecilyParsley in reply to Horsewhisper]

Thank you, I have been happily peeling and chopping from my chair as I have a table which slot over but today I just had to give in and hobble to the kitchen to make pizza dough which took no time at all. Then a sit down and make a quick coffee and walnut cake. Neil got everything out for me and so I just had to pop things in the mixer and then he took over once I was satisfied with it. It is in the oven now and to save me making buttercream he is whisking some cream with coffee and Baileys. It actually felt good to do something after just sitting for so long but the pain is just awful, t makes me nauseous so I am done for the day. I just hope we get some tv tonight xxx

[Horsewhisper in reply to CecilyParsley]

Good to hear you’ve been pottering about in the kitchen - I find it a welcome distraction from the pain and any health concerns that niggle me. I love the sound of your replacement buttercream! Sounds delicious, I’ll give that a try! 😋Take it easy in between baked and I hope the healing progresses as it should 🙏👍😘🤗😘

[CecilyParsley in reply to Horsewhisper]

Thank you so much. The coffee cream was delicious in the cake definitely a keeper xx

[Wendy39]

I hate to admit that I have a very sweet tooth and a weakness for Cadbury’s creme eggs. (Otherwise my diet is good and balanced). My children would love these!

🍪

[Horsewhisper in reply to Wendy39]

Oh goody! They hit the sweet spot for sure! I can only manage to eat half a Creme Egg cookie and then save the rest for a bit later on with a nice cuppa! 🥚🍫 ☕️ xxx

[Krazykat26]

OMG!!! 😋😋😋Totally well worth the wait HW 🤗

You're a culinary baking genius!! 🙌

Hope you're feeling bit better now? Glad to hear you've had your second jab without the adverse effects that u had with the first one!!

Rest up n take it easy now 🌈😽😽xx

[Horsewhisper in reply to Krazykat26]

So glad you think it was well worth the wait KK!! The are pretty yummy, well they were, as they’ve all been snaffled up now! 😂 I’ll just have to go and bake some more! Feeling better now, I had the Pfizer jab instead of the AZ one this time, no allergic reaction which was a relief! Hope all good with you 🙏😘🤗😘

[Krazykat26 in reply to Horsewhisper]

Will u have to have two doses of the Pfizer jab now then? 🌈😽😽Xx

[Horsewhisper in reply to Krazykat26]

Probably - they think I was allergic to the polysorbate which is in the AZ but not in the Pfizer. It’s all a bit odd as I’m not allergic to anything! Anyway, onwards as they say! Thanks KK 🐴 😘🤗😘👍

[JCZW]

Wow Horsewhisper that looks yummy 🤗sorry to hear that you haven't felt good after your second jab

[Horsewhisper in reply to JCZW]

Thanks JCZW - feeling better now which is good! 👍🤗

[Horsewhisper in reply to Hidden]

Mmm...yes very calorific! I just ate half a one to keep within my sugar budget for the day! 😋
