Mini Egg Cookies

Ingredients:

PREP TIME 15 mins
COOK TIME 8 mins
TOTAL TIME 23 mins
Serves: 18 cookies

• 1 cup (210g) chocolate petite eggs, divided
• 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup (86g) golden brown sugar, lightly packed
• 1/2 cup (100g) white sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 1/3 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Using a large knife, roughly chop approx. 3/4 cup of the chocolate petite eggs. In one small bowl add approx. 1/2 cup of the chopped chocolate petite eggs. In another small bowl add the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped chocolate petite eggs and the rest of the whole chocolate petite eggs (this bowl of chocolate petite eggs will be used for topping the cookies). Set bowls aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl beat butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat until well incorporated.
4. In a medium sized bowl add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix to combine ingredients.
5. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and beat until dough comes together. Add the reserved 1/2 cup of the chopped chocolate petite eggs and lightly mix to combine ingredients together.
6. Roll dough into balls approx. 1 tablespoon in size and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Space each ball 2 inches apart (be careful not to overcrowd the cookies). Lightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand.
7. With the last reserved bowl of chocolate petite eggs add a few broken and whole chocolate petite eggs to the top of each cookie.
8. Bake cookies in the middle of the oven for 8 minutes or just until the bottoms are lightly browned.
9. Now, carefully bang the cookie sheet on the counter a few times to flatten the cookies further.
10. Remove cookies from the cookie sheet and cool on a cooling rack.

NOTES Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Serves: 18 cookies
