Prepare the Cookie Dough – Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter until just softened, ensuring it is not too hot. Mix melted butter with both sugars until creamy and smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, stirring just until combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.

Add the Chocolate Magic – Stir in mini chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution.

Shape and Bake – Scoop the dough into medium-sized balls and roll until smooth. Place cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes, removing them when they are just starting to turn golden.

Decorate with Easter Cheer – While cookies are still warm, press whole M&M’s on top for decoration. Cut M&M’s in half and place them as bunny ears, pressing gently into the cookies.

Cool and Enjoy – Let cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
