Mini Easter Egg Cookies

Every Easter I find myself visiting multiple supermarkets and filling up my basket with Easter eggs. When I am not snacking on them, I use them for cookies.  

Let's get into the making of these Mini Easter Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies

The ingredients you will need to make these delicious cookies are: 

  • Plain or All purpose flour
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Corn starch
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Mini Easter Eggs
  • Chocolate chunks or chips

Reasons to love these Mini Eggs Cookies

They are filled with crushed mini chocolate eggs and dark chocolate chunks

The cookies are soft baked

The flavour of the cookie dough improves the longer you chill them.

Tips for making these cookies

Measure out the ingredients using a scale. 

Use room temperature butter and eggs. It is difficult to cream cold butter into a soft creamy consistency. 

To chop the mini eggs, place them into a ziplock bag, remove the air and seal, then bash them with a rolling pin. 

Chill the cookie dough. It helps prevents the dough from over-spreading, allows the flour to hydrate and helps the gluten relax,  Another reason is it easier to roll the cookie dough when it sticky right after mixing the ingredients together. 

Line your baking tray and space the cookie balls 2 inches apart so they don’t spread into each other in the oven. 

After removing the cookies from the oven, press on some chopped mini eggs.

How to store

Baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 

To freeze the cookies dough, scoop the dough balls, place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof or parchment paper and freeze them up to an hour or until they hard. Place then in an ziplock bag and freeze for up to 2 months. the cookies can be broken from frozen, just add on a 2-3 minutes to the bake time.
