Chocolate-Filled Cookie Bonbons

This one is new this year too. Our family loves the Cadbury mini eggs and when we found them at the store in Christmas colors as Thanksgiving, we went out and bought about a dozen bags for our huge family-only hardly any of the bags were opened so we all brought some home with us. This recipe was found on the back of the package, too.



6 tbsp. margarine, soft
1/3 c. light brown sugar
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. pecan/walnut pieces
1/2 c. oats
1/2 c. coconut
36 Cadbury Chocolates

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 36 mini muffin cups with paper liners. Line cookie sheet with waxed paper.
2. Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in nuts, oats and coconut.
3. Drop dough by rounded spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate 5-10 minutes or until easy to handle. Shape each dough mound around chocolate pieces, covering completely. Shape into a ball, roll in choice of coating (coconut, nuts, powder sugar). Place in muffin cups.
