Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough

  • 160 g Unsalted butter Should be at room temperature
  • 100 g White caster sugar
  • 150 g Light brown sugar
  • 1 medium Egg (at room temperature)
  • 1 medium Egg yolk (at room temperature)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 280 g Self-raising flour
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 200 g Chocolate (either milk, white, or a mix of both) Chopped into chunks

For Decoration

  • 12 Mini Malteser Bunnies
  • 12 Mini Eggs Roughly one sharing bag

Instructions
 

Make the Cookie Dough

  • In a bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, white caster sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
  • Add the medium egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated to avoid over-mixing.

Add the Chocolate

  • Chop the chocolate into chunks and fold it gently into the dough.

Incorporate the Easter Treats

  • Gently fold in the Mini Malteser Bunnies and Mini Eggs, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.

Chill If Necessary

  • If the dough feels too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

Shape and Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared tray, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and cookies are bubbling slightly.

Cool and Serve

  • Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

To store, keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.
