Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Kitchen Scales
  • Wooden spoon or hand mixer
  • Oven trays
  • greaseproof paper / baking parchment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 150 g unsalted butter soft at room temperature
  • 100 g light brown soft sugar
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 1 medium egg
  • 200 g self-raising flour
  • 40 g cocoa powder
  • Tiny pinch of salt
  • 200 g Mini Eggs

Instructions
 

  • Line a few baking trays with greaaseproof / parchment paper. I use 3 for this recipe as the cookies spread a lot.
  • Cream together the 150g butter and 100g light brown soft sugar with 100g of caster sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the 1 egg and stir in well.
  • Sieve in the 200g flour, 40g cocoa powder and pinch of salt and mix into a dough.
  • Pop in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Remove from fridge and take a heaped tablespoon for each cookie. Roll into a ball and stud with the mini eggs.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C / 356ºF / gas mark 4.
  • Bake for 10-12 mins until the cookies are firm to the touch on the edges and still soft in the centre.
  • Leave to cool slightly before enjoying. A few minutes would do.

Notes

  • Make the dough ahead and leave in the fridge until ready.
  • Freeze until you really fancy a chocolate cookie.
  • Store in an air tight container for up to 3 days. (If you don't eat them all straight away)
