Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• Ingredients You’ll Need
• Unsalted butter – Melted for a rich, indulgent base and soft texture
• Caster sugar – Adds sweetness and helps create lightly crisp edges
• Light brown sugar – Brings moisture and that irresistible chewy center
• Egg + extra egg yolk – Boosts richness and keeps the cookies tender
• Vanilla extract – Adds warmth and depth; high-quality extract makes a difference
• Self-raising flour – Gives the cookies structure and a thicker bite
• Salt – Sharpens the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness
• Chocolate chunks – A mix of milk and white chocolate for extra indulgence
• Easter chocolates – Mini Malteser Bunnies and Mini Eggs for a festive finish

Method

 

Step 1: Melt the Butter

Cut the butter into pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts until fully melted, then let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Mix in the Sugars

Add both sugars to the melted butter. Stir until smooth and glossy—no lumps allowed.

Step 3: Add Eggs & Vanilla

Stir in the whole egg, extra yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything looks well combined and silky.

Step 4: Form the Dough

Add the flour and salt. Fold gently until a soft cookie dough forms. Don’t overmix—stop as soon as it comes together.

Step 5: Add the Chocolate

Chop the chocolate into bite-sized pieces and fold them through the dough evenly.

Step 6: Chill the Dough

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or overnight for best texture and flavor. This step is key—don’t skip it.

Step 7: Prep for Baking

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 200°C conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 8: Soften Slightly

Remove the dough from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes so it’s easier to scoop.

Step 9: Shape the Cookies

Roll heaped tablespoons of dough into balls. You should end up with about 12–14 cookies.

Step 10: Space Them Out

Place 3–5 dough balls on the tray, leaving enough room for spreading.

Step 11: Bake

Bake for 10 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers should still appear soft and pale—this is exactly what you want.

Step 12: Decorate Immediately

While the cookies are hot, gently press a Mini Malteser Bunny and a Mini Egg into the top of each one.

Step 13: Cool & Set

Leave the cookies on the tray for 20 minutes. They’ll firm up as they cool and finish baking naturally.

Step 14: Enjoy

Grab a cup of tea, coffee, or milk—and enjoy your Easter masterpiece.

FAQs

Can I skip chilling the dough?
 You can, but the cookies will spread more and lose that thick, chewy texture. Chilling is worth it.

Can I freeze the dough?
 Yes! Roll into balls and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake straight from frozen—just add 1–2 extra minutes.

What if I don’t have self-raising flour?
 Use plain flour and add 1½ teaspoons baking powder.

Can I swap the Easter chocolates?
 Absolutely. Any seasonal chocolate or filled eggs work well.
