For the Cookie Base

  • ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour Essential for structure
  • 8 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled Adds richness
  • 1 large Egg The binder
  • 1 large Egg Yolk For moisture and softness
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar (for rolling) Adds sweetness and crunch
For the Ganache Filling
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips For creamy filling
  • ¼ cup Heavy Cream For silky ganache
For Decoration
  • 58 pieces M&Ms For bunny faces

Equipment

  • Mini muffin tin
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Coat a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix and all-purpose flour. Add melted butter, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Roll about one tablespoon of dough into a ball and place in the muffin tin.
  4. Bake for about 14 minutes until puffy and slightly cracked on top.
  5. Immediately press a small utensil in the center of each cookie to form a cup. Let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave until smooth, stirring in 30-second intervals.
  7. Fill each cookie cup with the ganache, distributing evenly.
  8. Press one whole M&M in the center of each filled cookie for the bunny face and two half-M&Ms for the ears.
  9. Let the cups sit at room temperature for about 2 hours until the ganache firms up.
