by Nadine Lloyd
Ingredients:
(Makes 40)
2¼ cups self-rising flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
250g (8.8oz) salted butter – at room temperature
¾ cup caster sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
115g (5.3oz) Cadbury mini solid milk chocolate easter eggs
115g (5.3oz) Cadbury mini solid white chocolate easter eggs
20x mini solid white chocolate easter eggs - cut in half
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
Roughly chop the 115g milk and 115g white chocolate eggs, then by using a small bowl, mix them together and set aside.
Cut the 20 white chocolate eggs in half (crossways or 90°to their join) and set aside.
Add the butter and both sugars to a large mixing bowl.
Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract.
Whisk until fully combined.
Mix the flour and cocoa powder together in a separate bowl, then gradually add the flour/cocoa to the butter and sugar mixture using a low/medium mixer speed.
Mix fully until combined and a nice cookie dough comes together.
Using a spatula, mix the chopped milk and white chocolate pieces through the cookie dough.
Roll the dough into small balls. (About half a tablespoon size each).
Place the balls onto the prepared trays. (About 2.5cm - 2in. apart from each other).
Lightly press the top of each cookie down with the back of a spoon to form a disc.
Bake for 6-8 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven. Gently press half a white chocolate egg into the centre of each cookie.
Return the tray to the oven for a further 4-6 minutes, or until the edges are hardened and the white chocolate egg just starts to brown.
