Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Cups
  • 1 box white or yellow cake mix (13.25 oz.) Substitute with almond flour for gluten-free.
  • ¼ cup flour Opt for all-purpose unless gluten-free is needed.
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled) Adds moisture and richness.
  • 1 large egg Acts as a binder.
  • 1 large egg yolk Enhances richness.
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Use clear vanilla for a nicer look.
  • ¼ cup sugar (for rolling) Optional but recommended for texture.
For the Ganache
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Can swap for milk or dark chocolate.
  • ¼ cup heavy cream Coconut cream is a great dairy-free alternative.
For Decoration
  • 58 pieces M&Ms (or 2 per cookie cup) Use pastel colors for an Easter vibe.

Equipment

  • Mini muffin tin
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix and flour. Add melted butter, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
  3. Scoop portions of cookie dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in sugar before placing them in the muffin tin.
  4. Bake for 14 minutes until puffed and set but not golden.
  5. Press an indent into the center of each cookie immediately after baking.
  6. Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat until smooth.
  8. Fill each cooled cookie cup with the ganache, leaving space for decoration.
  9. Decorate each cup with a whole pastel M&M and two halves above it to mimic bunny ears.
  10. Allow the ganache to set for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature.
