Bake Easter Cookie Bites 

Get the children baking with these deliciously addictive egg-free cookie dough bites by @MyKitchenDrawer. Stuffed with chocolate chips, mini eggs and sprinkles – it’s the perfect Easter treat! Check out the recipe below… 

Prep Time:  10  minutes 

Cook Time: 1  hour 

Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Servings:  16  bites 

Ingredients 

 100g  soft brown sugar 

100g  butter  softened 

150g  plain flour 

200g  condensed milk 

1 tbsp  vanilla extract 

100g  milk chocolate chips 

100g  sprinkles (I use Cake Angels Blush sprinkles) 

100g  mini eggs  crushed 

 

Instructions

1. Line a 20x30cm rectangular baking tin with baking paper then set aside. 
2. Combine the sugar and butter in a large bowl until evenly blended. Add the flour, condensed milk and vanilla then mix until you have a thick, but quite wet dough.  
3. Crush the mini eggs a little so you have a mixture of large and small bits, leave a handful to one side then add these to the mixture with the chocolate chips and sprinkles. Fold them all through the dough. 
4. Spread the dough out evenly in the baking tin, pressing it down firmly into one layer. Sprinkle the remaining handful of crushed mini eggs and some more sprinkles over the top then chill it in the fridge for one hour.  
5. Remove the tin from the fridge and lift the chilled cookie dough out of the tin with the baking paper.  
6. Peel the paper away, then cut the cookie dough into 16 equal squares.  
7. Serve immediately.
