Mini Egg Brownie Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups (227g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter
1/3 cup (65g) white sugar
2/3 cup (135g) dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup (95g) flour
1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
1 tbsp malted milk powder (optional)
1 tsp (1g) espresso powder (optional)
1/2 tsp (2g) salt
1 cup mini eggs (save some for the toppings)
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Chop about half of the mini eggs into small pieces and set them aside; keep the other half whole for topping.
- In a microwave‑safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter, then heat in 15–20‑second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly so it doesn’t scramble the eggs.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs with the white sugar and dark brown sugar using a whisk or electric mixer until the mixture turns pale, slightly thickened, and foamy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Slowly pour this egg–sugar mixture into the warm chocolate‑butter base while stirring continuously, then mix in the vanilla extract until everything is fully combined.
- In a third bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, malted milk powder (if using), espresso powder (if using), and salt until evenly blended.
- Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet chocolate batter using a spatula, being careful not to overmix; stop as soon as no streaks of flour remain. Fold in the chopped mini eggs, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing them about 5–7 cm apart to allow for spreading. Flatten each cookie very slightly with the back of a spoon.
- If desired, press a whole mini egg on top of each cookie for a decorative finish and sprinkle a pinch of flaky salt before baking.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are set with a slightly crackled surface and the edges just begin to firm up.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
