75g caster sugar
75g light brown muscovado sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
175g self-raising flour

Method

STEP 1
Beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, beat to combine, then mix in the flour and ¼ tsp salt. The dough will be very soft, so put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
STEP 2
Once chilled, divide the dough into 16 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Put the balls onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper or a silicone baking mat and flatten each ball into a disc with your hand.
STEP 3
Gently push 1 Maltesers Mini Bunny into 5 of the cookies, 3 Galaxy Golden Eggs into 5 of the cookies and 4 M&M's Eggs into 6 of the cookies. Put in the fridge for another 30 minutes to chill.
STEP 4
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes until golden. Cool on the tray before eating.
