• Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Trays

  Start by preheating your oven to 180ºC (350ºF) for a crisp, golden cookie. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper to ensure the cookies don’t stick and bake evenly. You’re going to want these cookies to slide right off the tray when they’re ready!
• Prepare the Chocolate

  Next, grab your Cadbury’s Buttons Easter Egg (or whichever chocolate you’ve chosen) and break it up into small pieces. Set them aside. You’ll fold them into the cookie dough later, and I like to save some extra pieces to sprinkle on top of the cookies before they go into the oven for that extra chocolatey goodness.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

• In a large mixing bowl, cube the butter (90g) and add it to the bowl along with the 6 tbsp of light brown sugar. Using a wooden spoon, mix them together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
• Next, crack your 3 medium eggs into a separate small bowl and whisk them until well combined. Pour the beaten eggs into the butter and sugar mixture, stirring well. Add the 3 tbsp honey and 1 tsp vanilla extract, and mix again until the dough starts to come together. If it’s a little lumpy, don’t stress! You can use a whisk to break up any lumps, but a few bits of butter here and there won’t hurt.

Add the Dry Ingredients

• Now, it’s time to add the 300g of porridge oats to the wet mixture, followed by the 1.5 tsp of baking powder. Stir everything together until well incorporated. The oats will absorb the moisture, and the dough will begin to thicken up.
• Once everything is combined, gently fold in the chocolate pieces, making sure to save a few for topping the cookies later. The chocolate will melt beautifully as the cookies bake, creating little pockets of gooey goodness.

Shape the Cookies

• Use a heaped tablespoon to scoop out the dough and place it onto your prepared baking trays. Make sure to leave a bit of space between each cookie, as they will spread slightly while baking.
• To get those perfect, round cookies, you can use a cookie cutter (if you have one) to shape them into neat circles. If not, simply push down the dough with the back of a small spoon to flatten them slightly. This will help them bake more evenly and create that iconic cookie shape. Top each cookie with a few extra chocolate pieces for a little extra indulgence.

Bake to Perfection

• Pop the trays in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. Keep an eye on them—depending on your oven, they might need just a little bit more time or could be ready in under 12 minutes.
• Once they’re golden and firm, take them out of the oven and let them sit on the tray for a minute or two. This will help them firm up a bit before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Cool & Enjoy

  Let your cookies cool for about 20 minutes on the wire rack—if you can resist! The waiting is the hardest part, but trust me, they are well worth the wait. Once they’ve cooled down, you can tuck in and enjoy a chewy, chocolatey bite of nostalgia.
