Ingredients to make Triple Chocolate Mini Egg Cookies

This delicious cookie recipe uses lots of ingredients that you are likely to already have in your cupboards at home, but there may be a couple of specific extras you need. 

• Unsalted butter – Adds richness and moisture to create a soft, chewy cookie.

• Light brown sugar – Provides a deep caramel-like sweetness and keeps the cookies soft.

• Caster sugar – Balances the brown sugar to give a slight crisp edge to the cookies.

• Large eggs – Helps bind the ingredients and adds structure to the dough.

• Vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor and complements the chocolate.

• Plain flour – The base of the cookies, providing structure and chewiness.

• Cocoa powder – Gives the cookies their deep, chocolatey flavor.

• Baking soda – Helps the cookies rise and spread perfectly while baking.

• Salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances the chocolate flavor.

• Dark chocolate – Adds extra pockets of rich, melty chocolate.

• Mini Eggs – Brings crunch, colour, and that signature Easter touch.

How to Make Triple Chocolate Mini Egg Cookies

Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line two baking trays with parchment paper. Roughly crush your Mini Eggs using a rolling pin or a knife (careful, they roll away!).

Step 2: Cream Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar together until light and fluffy. This helps create that soft, chewy texture.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Step 5: Add the Chocolate Goodness
Stir in the dark chocolate chunks and crushed Mini Eggs, saving a few to press on top of the cookies before baking.

Step 6: Scoop & Bake
Scoop out cookie dough balls (around 2 tbsp per cookie) and place them onto the prepared trays, leaving space between each. Press a few extra Mini Eggs on top for that bakery-style look.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Expert baking tips!

• Use good-quality dark chocolate – It balances the sweetness of the Mini Eggs and enhances the richness of the cookies.

• Don’t overbake! – The cookies will continue to cook on the tray after coming out of the oven.

• For extra gooeyness – Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.

• Make them ahead – The dough can be frozen for up to 3 months and baked fresh whenever you need a chocolate fix!
