Mini Egg Cookie Bars Recipe

These Mini Eggs Cookie Bars are just like Mini Egg Cookies but they look much more sophisticated, have a uniform shape and look great in Easter treat bags, as part of a buffet spread or on the table at a school bake sale. This Mini Eggs tray bake is easy to slice and can make as many portions as you like – although our 8×8 square tin makes 16 good size square Mini Egg bars.

Ingredients

  • 120 g unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 100 g soft brown sugar
  • 85 g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 275 g plain flour / all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda / baking powder
  • 250 g Cadbury Mini Eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180c/Gas Mark 4. Line a brownie pan with baking paper or parchment paper.
  • Cream butter and sugars in a large bowl. Mix in the vanilla extract and gradually add the egg – beating well. Stir in the milk.
  • Sift the dry ingredients – flour and baking powder – into a large mixing bowl and then fold into the butter and egg mixture.
  • Stir in the mini eggs
  • Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared brownie tin and smooth with a spatula. It’s fine if it doesn’t quite meet the edges.
  • Bake for 20 mins or until lightly golden browned. It should still be slightly soft in the centre – like a giant cookie!
