Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and honey or golden syrup, mixing until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain flour, hot chocolate powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Fold in the finely crushed Mini Eggs.
Step 2: Form & Bake the Cookies
1. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking tray, spacing them apart.
2. Flatten each dough ball slightly with your hands or the back of a spoon.
3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
4. Let the cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3: Prepare the Milk Chocolate Ganache
1. In a small saucepan, heat the double cream over low heat until it just begins to simmer.
2. Remove from heat and add the milk chocolate, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
3. Let the ganache cool slightly before using.
Step 4: Decorate the Cookies
1. Once the cookies have cooled, spoon a small amount of milk chocolate ganache onto each one and spread it evenly.
2. Top with whole and crushed Mini Eggs for decoration.
