Ingredients

• 150g butter, softened
• 1/2 cup, firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups plain flour
• 1 packet of Mini Eggs (or 200 grams of chocolate chips)

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Use electric beaters or mixer to beat the butter and sugars for about two minutes until well combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. Sift the flour into the mix and stir until just combined, don’t overwork the dough. Stir in the mini eggs (or choc chips). Roll tablespoons of dough into balls, squash slightly with a fork then cook for 12-15 minutes or until light brown. Let them stand to cool a little then transfer onto wire racks to cool. They freeze well, too.
