Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cake mix and flour. Add melted butter, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, stirring until it forms a soft dough.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-tablespoon balls, coat in sugar, and place in muffin cups.
  4. Bake for 14 minutes until puffy and slightly cracked.
  5. Impress the center of each cookie with a spoon handle to create indents, then cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
  6. Melt white chocolate chips and heavy cream in the microwave until smooth, mixing frequently.
  7. Fill indents in cooled cookie cups with ganache.
  8. Decorate with M&Ms to create bunny faces.
  9. Allow to set at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
