Cook Time10 minutes
Course: Afternoon Tea, Dessert, Easter
Cuisine: American, Austrian, English
Servings: 10

Ingredients

  • 190 g Cake flour
  • 30 g Dutch process cocoa
  • ¾ tsp Baking powder
  • 100 g White sugar
  • 100 g Brown sugar
  • 1 Egg XL, room temperature
  • 115 g Unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 170 g Dark chocolate chips
  • 10 Mini Cadbury Cream Eggs or substitute with another mini filled easter egg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and line 2 cookie trays with baking paper
  • Into a large bow, sift the cake flour, cocoa and baking powder
  • Add the chocolate chips and stir through
  • In another mixing bowl, whisk the 2 sugars and the melted butter for about 2 minutes
  • Now whisk in the egg and vanilla
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, until just combined
  • Use a large ice cream scoop to scoop out 10 cookies and place onto the 2 trays
  • Unwrap the Easter eggs, then roll a cookie ball, make an indent in the dough and place an Easter egg into the indent. Roll again to enclose the Easter egg. Repeat with the other dough balls.
  • Bake 1 tray at a time, for 8-10 minutes (the cookies will still be a little fudgy). Remove from the oven, give the cookies a minute or 2 to set, then place on a cake rack to cool completely

Notes

Any mini filled Easter egg can be used in these cookies -caramello, peppermint, Turkish delight just to name a few.
