It doesn’t get better than this DEEP DISH MINI-EGG COOKIE BOWL. Melty chocolate mini-eggs in a buttery, chewy cookie dough that’s made for one.

You’re going to want to save this recipe for when you’re craving dessert!

Here’s the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp white sugar
1x egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
6 1/2 tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp chopped chocolate mini-eggs (or chocolate chips)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. To a small-medium size bowl add melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Whisk together to combine.
2. Add egg yolk and vanilla and whisk again to combine.
3. Add in flour, baking soda and salt and stir until a cookie dough forms. Mix in the chopped chocolate mini-eggs and press the dough into a 8-10oz ramekin.
4. Bake in the oven 18-24 minutes depending on preferred doneness (16-18 minutes range will be a more ‘underdone’ cookie VS 24 minutes will be almost fully baked)
5. Enjoy!

Save this recipe for cute MINI FRUIT HAND PIES for

Save this recipe for cute MINI FRUIT HAND PIES for dessert anytime! Made with super simple ingredients, it’s a dessert you can honestly make anyyyyy time - heres the recipe friends!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2-2/3 cup pie filling of choice (I recommend cherry or blueberry!)
1 sheet frozen puff pastry *defrosted in the fridge*
egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1/2 tbsp milk)
coarse sugar for sprinkling

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Lay out the defrosted puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
3. Use a circle cookie cutter to cut out 8 circles (4 tops and 4 bottoms). Brush the edges of the 4 ‘bottom’ circles with the egg wash. Spoon about 2-3 tbsp of the pie filling into the centre of the bottom circles.
4. Place the ‘top’ circles over the pie filling and then crimp the edges of the circles to seal - it’s ok if some of the filling seeps out!
5. Slice 2 small slits in the top of each pie; brush the egg wash on each pie and then sprinkle with sugar. Place in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 375F.
6. Once the oven is preheated (and it’s been at least 10 minutes since the pies have been in the fridge), bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
7. Cool on the baking sheet and then enjoy!
