Ingredients

Scale
  • 100 g softened unsalted butter
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 65 g light brown soft sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 215 g plain flour

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 100 g milk chocolate chips
  • 125 ml double cream
  • 125 g dark chocolate
  • 36 mini eggs (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (Fan/Gas Mark 6) and prepare a cupcake tin by greasing it and lining each hole with baking paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, beat the softened butter with caster and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until combined.
  3. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt) until just combined.
  4. Fold in the milk chocolate chips and crushed mini eggs gently.
  5. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, pressing each into the cupcake tin to form cups.
  6. Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown; cool slightly before transferring to a rack.
  7. For the ganache, heat dark chocolate, butter, and double cream in intervals until smooth. Allow it to cool before filling the cookie cups.
  8. Top with mini eggs once filled.
