These rich, fudgey chocolate cookies are tender in the centre and crisp on the exterior. They are studded with mini eggs and dark chocolate. The espresso is optional but adding it deepens the chocolate flavour immensely and I highly recommend it. A few flecks of salt to finish makes these cookies so perfect.

Ingredients
113 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
100 g (1/2 cup) brown sugar
80 g (6 tablespoons) granulated sugar
1 large egg (at room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla
132 g (1 cup and 2 tbsp) all-purpose flour
53 g (1/2 cup and 2 tbsp) cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp espresso powder (optional but recommended)
1/2 tsp salt
200 g (1 bag) mini eggs (half roughly chopped, half whole)
60 g (1/3 cup) dark chocolate (roughly chopped)
Flaked sea salt (to garnish)
Steps
In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix until combined.
In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, espresso powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients into butter mixture and mix on medium-low until just combined, about 30 seconds
Add the mini eggs and chopped dark chocolate and mix on low until incorporated. Dough will be sticky.
Place a piece of plastic wrap over the mixing bowl and chill the cookie dough until it is firm to the touch, 30 - 45 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop out the chilled dough into dough balls with an ice cream scoop onto the lined baking sheet. Top each dough ball with flaked salt.
Bake at 350F for 10 – 12 minutes. Let cookies rest on cookie sheet for 15 minutes before moving to cooling rack to cool completely.

Celine on 2026-04-15 (5 stars): ive made regular mini egg cookies before but adding cocoa powder to make a brownie version of it... yes!! this exceeded my expectations, as a brownie lover and mini egg lover this was justtt everythinggg
Angie O on 2023-04-05 (5 stars): very flavorful, and i love how the bitterness of the espresso and dark chocolate tempered down the sweetness of the cadbury eggs. great quantity too!
Marty Semulka on 2022-04-01 (5 stars): These cookies are amazing! I love how deeply chocolatey they are. I also think the flake sea salt is a must. It adds great texture and balances the chocolate. I also like that it makes a small batch of cookies.
