About This Recipe
- These Mini Egg Easter Cookies are easy to make and require no chill time.
- All the ingredients are simple; you can find them in your kitchen already. One item you will need to have are the Mini Eggs. These Easter eggs come in different pastel colours, adding a fresh, spring-like look to the cookies.
- Adding the Mini Eggs also adds extra crunch to the finished product.
- This recipe contains mini chocolate chips, which add a rich, chocolaty flavour to the cookies.
- We need both brown and granulated sugar in this recipe. Brown sugar contains molasses which makes the cookies soft and chewy.
- The other ingredients are flour, baking soda, salt, egg, and butter. All these ingredients are used in almost all cookie recipes.
How To Make These Mini Egg Easter Cookies
- Like most cookie recipes, cream the room-temperature butter and two sugars. You can use a stand mixer's paddle attachment or a hand mixer. The mixture should become soft, light in colour, and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat well.
- Sift all dry ingredients and gently fold them into the above mixture. Do not overmix.
- Crush half a cup of the chocolate eggs and add to the dough along with the chocolate chips. Have some whole mini eggs to place on top of the cookies.
- Mix in the mini chocolate chips and crushed mini eggs.
- This cookie dough does not require any chilling time. Scoop the dough into small balls the size of a walnut in the shell. Place them on the baking sheet and place a few eggs on each ball. Bake them for 8-10 minutes.
- Immediately after bringing them out, go around each cookie with a large round cookie cutter, soften the edges and make them as round as possible.
- While they are still hot, top them with more mini chocolate eggs if you like.
- Let them cool down for 10 minutes, then transfer them to the cooling rack to cool down completely.
