Bake for 9-11 minutes, until golden brown.

Notes

Instead of parchment paper, you can also use a silicone baking mat to line your baking sheet. You could also use nonstick cooking spray to prepare your baking sheets.
If you don't have a cookie scoop and want your cookies to be evenly sized you can weigh them with a kitchen scale. Weigh out two ounces of dough for each cookie dough ball.
You can also press more chopped candy onto the top of the cookies before you bake them if you want a decorative touch.
If you decide to freeze these cookies, just note that the chocolate may turn gray. This is called "bloom" and the chocolate is perfectly edible.
