Ingredients
Method
Make the Cookie Dough:
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Stir in both sugars until fully combined.
- Mix in the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the flour and salt until a dough forms.
- Chop the chocolate into chunks and mix into the dough.
- Cover the dough with clingfilm and refrigerate for at least 5 hours (or overnight for best results).
Shape and Bake:
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan (200°C conventional).
- Let the chilled dough sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Scoop out heaped tablespoons of dough and roll into balls.
- Place on a lined baking tray, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes – they should be golden at the edges but soft in the middle.
Decorate and Enjoy:
- While cookies are still warm, gently press a Mini Malteser Bunny and a Mini Egg onto each cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the tray for 20 minutes to firm up.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is essential for achieving thick, chewy cookies.
- Pressing the decorations onto warm cookies ensures they stick perfectly.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle with melted chocolate before serving!
