Mini chocolate eggs thumbprint cookies will be my go-to this Easter! As I said last week, Easter to me is chocolate all over!
Call it how you like it. I have never been religious and growing up it was an excuse for time with the family and chocolate overload.
The easter egg I love is far too expensive. Also far from home, it’s not the same. But, there is no absolute reason to pass on chocolate, so mini chocolate eggs cookies for the win!
Out of the three of us, I am the one with less cooking and baking skills, no fear or shame in admitting it. During Christmas, I managed to kill a pavlova and fluked plenty of other dinners. But luckily the girls still love me anyway!
I accept that is not my forte. But I have a sweet tooth that is very difficult to ever tame. So when Simona suggested these I was all for it!
They’re the easiest to make and must admit, the easiest to eat! The day after I only counted four left, but I digress! So I will praise them just once more and then get to the recipe, I swear!
Now imagine. A cookie the size of your thumb, covered in chocolate (Nutella for us, because why not) and on top mini chocolate eggs (we got this from Ocado, but you can find them everywhere). The recipe for these mini chocolate eggs thumbprint cookies is following because by now you must be hating me!
Mini Chocolate Eggs Thumbprint Cookies
Easy and delicious Easter treat that no one can refuse!
Ingredients
- 113 g unsalted butter
- 100 g white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 220 g flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- Nutella or chocolate spread
- mini chocolate eggs
Instructions
- Turn on the oven at 180 ° C.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla to the mix.
- Add the dry ingredients to the mix and unite everything together.
- Roll the mix in small round balls and bake for 10 minutes at 180 ° C.
- remove from the oven and with the back of a teaspoon, push the middle down to create some space for the chocolate.
- Let them cool down completely on a rack- around 30 minutes.
- Fill the middle of the cookies with Nutella or any chocolate spread you prefer and decorate with mini chocolate eggs.
Notes
Make sure you leave the cookies to cool down before adding the topping or the nutella will overflow and the mini eggs will melt.
Honestly, they were a hit at home and Fred and I stuffed our faces with it, no regrets! I love how easy they are to bake and foolproof even for someone that doesn’t enjoy baking. I think they would be a great baking project with kids as they’re quite easy to make and fun to decorate.
Hope you liked these mini chocolate eggs thumbprint cookies recipe. Let us know in the comments if you will make them!

They are true, they didn’t last long! They’re kind of shortbread texture, softer under the Nutella and quite easy to melt in your mouth. To be honest they’re so easy, I am a peril while baking and these were very quick to make! x

Rosie
haha! I feel the struggle, had far too many mini eggs while on the making! Thank you for reading Rosie x
Alright, so I’ll admit that I’ve never been the biggest thumbprint fan because I don’t usually like just straight-up chocolate. But NUTELLA? Now that’s something I can get behind. And the eggs are so cute! I’ll have to try these!
Everything with nutella is better right? Thank you so much for reading Stephanie x
Wow these look so yummy!! Thank you for sharing this!!

So cute to look at! And these must be one delicious treat too. You caught me there that Im not a fan at baking – and seeing this has surely triggers me to have it a try.

Oh damn these are the cutest thing ever! I might have to give these a go this Easter!x
Thank you so much Jenny, hope you like them x
Oh my god, they look yummy. I’d have to have mine with chocolate rather than Nutella, as I’m not a fan of nuts and the amount of sugar in Nutella is a lot, even when compared to chocolate
Thank you so much for reading! Chocolate could work absolutely great with these too, hope you like them x
These look absolutely perfect! I keep promising myself that I’m going to try baking something as a treat for those around me, and this is where I’m going to start since mini eggs are a particular fan favourite. I hope you’re able to indulge in more guilt-free chocolate over Easter!
Everything mini eggs related is a great place to start! Thank you so much for reading and hope you get t try them x
