Instructions
Start by making the cookie dough
Chop up the butter and place in a microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave for 30-60 seconds until the butter has melted.
Add both sugars and use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix well until combined.
Add the whole egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
Fold in the flour and salt until the mixture comes together to form a cookie dough.
Chop the chocolate into small chunks. Fold into the cookie dough.
Cover the bowl with clingfilm and place in the fridge for at least 5 hours or overnight for best results. The longer you leave the cookie dough the better the flavour and texture will be.
Roll and bake the cookies
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 200°C conventional. Line a large flat baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Take the cookie dough out of the fridge and leave to soften at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Scoop up a heaped tablespoon of cookie dough and use your hands to roll it into a ball. Repeat this step until all the cookie dough has been used up, you should get roughly 12-14 cookies.
Depending on the size of your baking tray, place 3-5 cookie balls on the tray leaving space between each so they have room to spread out.
Bake for 10 minutes. The cookies should be pale golden on the outside but pale and soft in the middle. Don't worry if the middle still looks under-baked, this is how they are meant to be and the cookies will carry on baking as they cool down.
As soon as the cookies are out of the oven, push a Mini Malteser Bunny and a Mini Egg into the top of each cookie.
Leave the cookies on the baking tray for 20 minutes. During this time the cookies will firm up and continue cooking a little as they cool down.
Meanwhile, pop the kettle on, make a cuppa and then tuck in!
