Malted Mini Egg Cookies
125g Plain Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 Pinch of Salt
50g Mini Eggs, crushed
12 Mini Eggs, for decorating
45g Dark Brown Sugar
80ml Rayner’s Organic Barley Malt Extract
60ml Margarine, melted
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to fan 160C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, mini eggs, salt and baking powder.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the malt extract, margarine, and vanilla extract.
4. Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry until a cookie dough is formed.
5. Divide the dough into 8-12 balls and evenly space across the two baking sheets.
6. Slightly flatten each ball and press a mini egg into the centre. Refrigerate the dough on the baking sheets for 15 minutes.
7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on the desired softness of your cookies (shorter time = softer cookie).
8. Leave to cool on the tray for 5-10 minutes, then eat while warm, or allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
