Double Chocolate Mini Egg Cookies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Deliciously decadent cookies crammed with mini eggs. These Double Chocolate Mini Egg Cookies will make you want to stock up on mini eggs so you can make them all year!

Easter is my favourite holiday to bake for. There are endless sweet treats that can be made with the amazing variety of chocolate that are available at this time of year.

People go crazy for them which is why supermarkets have started selling Easter chocolate as soon as January hits.

Is it too early for Easter baking?

Although I think January is slightly too early to be indulging in Easter chocolate, it does help food bloggers! With it being available in shops earlier it means we can buy the chocolate needed to test out new recipes.

This is especially good for me because I give up chocolate each year for lent. This isn’t because I’m religious but I just like to prove I can do it!

Each year it is a bit of a rush for me to test all of my Easter recipes before lent starts. This is because nearly all of them involve chocolate and I want to be able to test them myself before blogging them.

These Double Chocolate Mini Egg Cookies are my first new Easter recipe this year. Now I said Easter baking was my favourite, but it is also one of the most challenging.

This is because there are so many Easter bakes already out there. I hadn’t seen a recipe Double Chocolate Mini Egg Cookies (even though I’m sure it is not original!) so I went for it.

I’ve wanted to make a double chocolate cookie for a while because I don’t have any on my blog yet. I needed to tweak my standard cookie recipe like I used in my Peanut Butter Cup Cookies to make them even more chocolatey.

To do this I needed Mr Curly’s help because maths is not my strong point!

I may have sampled one…or three of these Double Chocolate Mini Egg Cookies before taking them into work. I loved them, Mr Curly loved them and my friends at work went crazy for them!

They were a big hit and also easy to make too.

Do I have to use Mini Eggs in these cookies?

Absolutely not, feel free to use any Easter Chocolate you like. There are so many to choose from that you can make these cookies with your favourite.

Also if you aren’t making these at Easter you can use normal chocolate chips.

Ingredients

  • 100 g margarine
  • 225 g light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 185 g self raising flour
  • 40 g cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 200 g mini eggs lightly crushed

To finish

  • 80 g mini eggs

Instructions

  1. Lightly crush the mini eggs so you have a mixture of small and large pieces. I do this with the end of a rolling pin

  2. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (fan assisted, 200ºC non fan) and line three baking trays with liners or parchment paper 

  3. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, this may take a couple of minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined

  4. Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt and mix briefly to combine before adding crushed mini eggs. Stir through until completed mixed

  5. Add balls of the cookie dough onto the lined baking trays making sure you leave enough space to allow for the cookies to spread when cooking. I use a small ice cream scoop for this

  6. Add a mini egg on top of each cookie 

  7. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. When you take them out of the oven they should still be soft to touch in the centre. Leave them to cool for 5-10 minutes before gently lifting them to cool completely on a wire rack

Recipe Notes

Do not over cook these cookies! They will look soft but they firm up as they cool.

    These look fab. The only issue I have would be not eating them before they go in the mix.

    as for giving up chocolate for Lent, I often try but rarely succeed as I find I’ve eaten a bit without thinking – definitely my downfall!

    It’s never too early for Easter baking in my book, and these look fab! I’m sure my kids would love to try their hand at making them with me (though I ‘d need to buy extra mini eggs to cover the ‘sampling’ :-D) Eb x

    I know these would be a big hit in our house too! The kids and Mr SearchingforSpice would love them. I’d have to hide a couple if I wanted to get my fair share!

    These cookies are a great use of mini eggs – very popular with children in particular. Good luck for your 40 days without chocolate 2019!
