chocolate Easter egg cookies

What do you get when you mix these gorgeous flower pots, Pioneer Woman's Chocolate Valentines, and Gimme Some Oven's Easter truffles? These cookies!

You see I was simply minding my own business browsing through PW's cookbook when lovely decorated chocolate hearts caught my eye. My first thought was, "Ohhh, why did I not make these at Valentine's?" Then the chocoholic voice inside piped up, "They're chocolate! CHOCOLATE! Forget Valentine's. Make them now!" And so I reasoned with my chocoholic self [because she's kind of pushy] that I would make the cookies, but I'll cut them out with my egg-shaped cookie cutter and decorate them for Easter.

Then I was faced with the dilemma of how to decorate them. I toyed with the idea of royal icing in white and how pretty [but time consuming] they would look. And then I remembered the flowerly design on the Anthropologie flower pots and the simple designs Ali used to decorate her truffles and it all just clicked in that beautiful way.
