Easter Egg Cookies
Serves: Makes 18Method
Step 1
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the beater attachment, cream the light brown sugar, caster sugar and butter together for 3 – 5 minutes until light and creamy.
Step 2
Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Step 3
Add the flour, cornflour, bicarbonate of soda and salt, then fold into the mixture with a large spoon or spatula.
Step 4
Finally fold in the chocolate chips, then cover the dough in the bowl and chill for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
Step 5
Heat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 18 equal sized pieces and roll each into a ball.
Step 7
Place the balls of dough on the lined baking sheets, spaced at least 4 – 5cm apart and away from the edges of the baking sheet. Gently press each ball down to flatten the bottom slightly.
Step 8
Bake for 8 minutes. Meanwhile, roughly chop about a quarter of the mini eggs.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and press 3 or 4 mini eggs into each cookie, then sprinkle with some of the roughly chopped mini eggs.
Step 10
Return to the oven and bake for a further6 – 9 minutes until the cookies are golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool and firm up on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. The centres should still be soft and chewy. Serve warm or leave to cool completely.
