1/2 C butter
1 C brown sugar
1 C white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 t vanilla
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
2 1/2 C flour
6 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 10 oz. bag Cadbury Mini-Eggs
Preheat oven to 350. Chop up the cadbury eggs in a ziplock bag until they are crumbled.
Cream together the butter, crisco, brown sugar and white sugar. Add in eggs one at a time and the vanilla. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, soda, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture to combine and then mix in the candies.
Drop onto a cookie sheet and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and try not to stuff your face too quickly!

Lesson of the Pyramids
Designing and building with concrete or cement certainly isn’t the latest thing to hit the contractor’s spec sheet. In fact the pyramids of ancient Egypt were built of a cement-like material containing clay and straw for reinforcement. The Roman Colosseum and Pantheon were built of a concrete that is very similar to what we use today, and the first reinforced concrete bridge, which still stands, was constructed in San Francisco in 1889.
