- Separate the dough into 8 equally sized sections, they should be around 97g each for this recipe. Then, with your hands roll each chunk of dough into a ball and place it onto a plate or baking tray.
- Place in the freezer for 30 minutes for the dough to firm up. Whilst the cookies are freezing, preheat your oven to 200°C (180°Fan, gas mark 6, 400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- After 30 minutes, place the cookie dough balls onto a lined baking tray and bake it in the oven for 14 minutes. Once baked, leave the cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before eating.

Notes
I used two packs of mini eggs usually 80g each (gone are the days where they were 90 grams a pack for a pound!!). Currently, shops sell larger packs of 270g or even a 1kg bag if you plan on doing a lot of Easter baking.
To calculate how big each ball should be, I weighed the whole amount of dough then divided the total by 8, which gave me 97g each. Use this technique if you want even-sized and a more uniform batch.
