Fold in the mini chocolate chips and halved chocolate eggs.
½ cup Mini chocolate chips, ½ cup Mini egg Easter eggs
Scoop the dough into small balls the size of a walnut in the shell. Place a few mini eggs on top of the cookie balls. Place them on the baking sheet and leave at least 2 inch space between them, Cookies will expand quite a bit.
¾ cup Mini egg Easter eggs
Bake them for 8-10 minutes. Remove them when the edges start to become golden.
Immediately after bringing them out, go around each cookie with a large round cookie cutter, soften the edges and make them as round as possible. While they are still hot, top them with more mini chocolate eggs if you like.
Let them cool down on the baking sheet, then transfer them to the cooling rack to cool down completely.
