Cookies

Ok, I know easter has gone and the possibiltiy of finding these chocolates in the shop or at the back of your cupboard are slim but hey ho... keep the recipe safe for next year, these are sooooooo sooo good.

Ingredients

50g Caster Sugar
150g Brown sugar
1 x Egg
100g Butter
320g Plain flour
2tsps Baking powder
1/4 tsps Bicarbinated soda
1 bag of mini eggs
1 bag of M&ms
100g Milk chocolate chips

Equiptment

Baking tray
Mixing bowl
Spoon
Baking paper or chosen method of lining your tray

To Decorate

Mini eggs
M&Ms
Extra Milk chocolate chips

To Serve

On its own or why not try out one of the following:

1 warm cookie (out of the oven or warmed in the microwave for around 30/45 seconds then add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and any extra elements of your choosing, such as:

Crushed nuts
Caramel sauce
Drizzle sauce

Steps

Beat the room temperature butter, with both sugars until light and fluffy.
Add the beaten eggs and mix until combined
Add the flour and baking powder and bicarbinated soda.
Mix again. The add the chocolate chips (and m&m and mini eggs), the dough may become thick and floury looking, thats fine, keep mixing.
Once combined seperate into balls around about 100g each but you can split it into whatever you like. This mix you should get around 9 large or 12 small cookies.
You dont need to freeze them but I do leave them on a tray to chill in the fridge while I warm my oven through.
Bake at 170c for around 12 minutes (depending on your oven, please adjust to suit) They will spread so leave space between cookies to accomadate that.
After they come out the oven, top with additional chocolate to decorate.
Leave to chill before removing them from the tray.
