What you'll need...

  • 125g unsalted butter
  • 100g light brown sugar
  • 75g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 300g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 100g milk chocolate chips
  • 150g Mini Eggs, chopped
  • 50g Mini Eggs, whole

Method

  1. Add the butter, brown sugar and white sugar to a mixing bowl and beat until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat again until combined. Pour in the plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt and beat until it turns into a cookie dough. Avoid over beating it. 

  2. Add the chocolate chips and chopping Mini Eggs. Mix until they’re evenly distributed. 

  3. Make the cookie dough balls, weighing them so they’re of equal sizes, roughly around 100-115g each. 

  4. Once they’re rolled into equal sized balls, add the whole mini eggs into the dough balls and place in the fridge for an hour, so they have time to rest. 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200C / 180C fan / gas 6. 

  2. Place the dough balls onto a baking tray, keeping enough space between them. Don’t flatten them as they’ll slightly flatten and spread as they cook. Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins, or until they’re golden around the edges. 

  3. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack for at least 30 mins. Once cool enough to eat, enjoy!
