Instructions

Roughly chop half the mini eggs and set aside.
Measure the softened butter and sugars into your mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat together, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl, until creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla and beat together until the eggs are incorporated. Use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
Mix in the flour, baking powder, soda and salt until the dough comes together.
Add the chopped mini eggs and beat them into the cookie dough. Chill for an hour or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 190°C /395°F. Scoop balls of the dough onto a reusable baking liner or baking parchment, placing slightly apart. Press extra whole and halved mini eggs on top of the cookies and flatten slightly.

Leave the cookies on the trays for five minutes then transfer onto a wire cooling rack. Store in an airtight container.
