Method
- To make the mini egg cookies cream together the butter and sugars until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until nearly combine. In a sandwich bag, roughly bash the mini eggs and add to the bowl and fold until ingredients are fully incorporated and evenly distributed.
- Lay out a long strip of cling film onto the surface and place your cookie dough along it. Wrap in the cling film and roll into a long sausage-like shape then set aside for later.
- To make the cream egg cookies, repeat steps 1-3 with the cream egg ingredients.
- Lay out another long strip of clingfilm onto your work surface. Remove the clingfilm from both cookie doughs and lay side-by-side and the new strip. Wrap and roll to elongate and merge the two doughs together and place in the fridge to chill for 1-2 hours.
- Pre-heat oven to 160C. Remove the clingfilm and slice into 14 then roll slightly in your hands to form a ball. Place on a lined tray, top with some reserved mini & cream eggs and bake for 15-18mins or until crisp on the outside but a slight wobble in the middle.
- Remove from the oven and allow to sit on the try for 5mins before placing on a rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
