Super Chocolate Easter Biscuits/Cookies Recipe by Nadine Lloyd

Ingredients:

(Makes 40)

  • 2¼ cups self-rising flour 

  • ¾ cup cocoa powder 

  • 250g (8.8oz) salted butter – at room temperature 

  • ¾ cup caster sugar 

  • 1 cup brown sugar 

  • 2 large eggs 

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 115g (5.3oz) Cadbury mini solid milk chocolate easter eggs

  • 115g (5.3oz) Cadbury mini solid white chocolate easter eggs

  • 20x mini solid white chocolate easter eggs - cut in half

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).


Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and set aside.


Roughly chop the 115g milk and 115g white chocolate eggs, then by using a small bowl, mix them together and set aside.


Cut the 20 white chocolate eggs in half (crossways or 90°to their join) and set aside.


Add the butter and both sugars to a large mixing bowl.

Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Add the eggs and vanilla extract.

Whisk until fully combined.


Mix the flour and cocoa powder together in a separate bowl, then gradually add the flour/cocoa to the butter and sugar mixture using a low/medium mixer speed. 


Mix fully until combined and a nice cookie dough comes together.


Using a spatula, mix the chopped milk and white chocolate pieces through the cookie dough.


Roll the dough into small balls. (About half a tablespoon size each).

Place the balls onto the prepared trays. (About 2.5cm - 2in. apart from each other). 


Lightly press the top of each cookie down with the back of a spoon to form a disc.


Bake for 6-8 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven. Gently press half a white chocolate egg into the centre of each cookie. 


Return the tray to the oven for a further 4-6 minutes, or until the edges are hardened and the white chocolate egg just starts to brown.
