I had a very full house of kids this week so decided to do a bit of cooking with them. But by the time I had got all the ingredients out, Ellie “teen” girl was on the phone, Jack “ten” boy was engrossed on the xbox and baby milly was asleep!
So this only left a very eager Aime May. Bless her, she LOVES to cook and paint just like me. She says she wants us to get a big house with a maaaasive attic (thats just how she says it!) so we can use it as a painting studio, with two easles and a big shelf of paints! Add a sewing machine and rolls and rolls of glorious fabric and I think I would be in heaven too! Awww.. Dream…..
Anyway, as I was saying, me and Aime were going to make something…. something yummy…. something that included the rest of my east egg, as if I ate any more eggs I was sure to be the size of a small Winnebago ;D
So this it what we made, big J says they are the best cookies he has EVER tasted, praise indeed!
If you have any easter eggs left it probably takes a little over a quarter of an an egg, or about half a big bar.
Butterscotch Chocolate Shortbread Cookies
40z of Marg or Butter
2 oz of caster sugar
6oz of plain flour
And about 3 and a half 0z’s of Green and Blacks Butterscotch Chocolate, you can use any chocolate really. But this gives them another yummy dimension!
Method -
First pre-heat the oven at 150 oc or gas mark 2.
And lightly greese a baking sheet. Then get the egg or choc in a plastic sarnie bag and bash with a rolling pin, you can just break the chocolate up, but its not half as much fun!
then beat the marg with a wooden spoon until soft and creamy, add sugar and then flour.
Bring the mix together with a wooden spoon and then using your hand make it into a ball. (try not to over handle the mix as this makes the cookies a bit hard when cooked) .
Then roll your cookie dough (you may need to flour your rolling pin too) to about 3mm thick and using cookie cutter cut your shapes.
place on a tray and bake on a highish shelf in the oven for about 30 mins until just going golden. Nom Nom Nom!!! 
Nom indeedy, we made millionaire shortcake with leftover eggs, but it is far too sweet
yes, i always like the idea of Millionaire shortcake but after about two mouthfuls I think my teeth are going to fall out, lol!
Funny tho, I commented @YummyNo1′s blog the other day that we all make things to use up the easter eggs that are probably far more calorific than the actual eggs in question, lol!
I love chocolate and shortbread but my husband does not make it together – yet. Husband is the cook in our house and when its afternoon tea – it really is. I try and entertain so he can make fattening yummy cakes/biscuits. I will pass on recipe to him and hope he makes this for Sunday high tea. Thanks
Wow, Naomi ! …a hubby that cooks and makes high tea! forget the kids coaching really think there is a future for you in hubby coaching! ;D
really glad you liked the blog and thanks so much for commenting xxxxx
Yummy scrummy modom
made me even more hungry than I was when I started reading! Awaiting hubbys return from work so trying to stop myself chewing the oven door off by pottering on Twitter & what do I read…only bloody delish cookie recipie & pics to go with it incase I wasn’t being visual enough inside my noggin! 
x ps can I move into your maaasive attic too? Pretty please with cookies sprinkled on the top?!
Lol! I would love that! Oh the fun we’d have…mind you, we’d probably be way too busy jabbering to get any actual work done xxxx
