Ingredients

For the cookie cups:

200g Walker's Chocolate Chip Shortbread, broken into pieces

125g plain flour

75g unsalted butter

100g caster sugar

1 medium egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp baking powder

75g chocolate chips

Pinch of salt

For the chocolate ganache:

100ml double cream

100g dark chocolate

15g butter, melted

Handful mini eggs to decorate

 

Method

In a bowl, crush the Walker’s Chocolate Chip Shortbread until you have coarse crumbs, then set aside.

In another mixing bowl beat together the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla extract and beat until pale and fluffy then add in the flour, Walker’s Chocolate Chip Shortbread, baking powder, chocolate chips and a pinch of salt and fold together to form the dough.

Add the dough to a greased 12-hole muffin tin, depending on the size of your tin, pressing down around the edges to form a small well, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden.

While the cookie cups set, create the chocolate ganache by heating the cream until it is just about steaming, then add the chocolate and butter and stir in until smooth and glossy, leaving to cool slightly.

Pour the mixture into the center of each cookie cup, then decorate with a few chocolate mini eggs and additional Walker’s Chocolate Chip Shortbread crumbs.

Enjoy!
