Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds to just barely melt it. If there is still a piece of butter that isn't melted then swirl it until it melts {you don't want the butter to be hot or the eggs will curdle}.
Add both sugars and mix until creamy {by hand works great}. Add the vanilla and the egg, mix until incorporated but do not over mix or the dough will be stiff.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until everything is incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and stir until they are evenly distributed. Finally add the chopped orange coated chocolates and stir it into the dough.
Scoop the dough with a medium cookie scoop {or about 1 ½ tablespoons} into your hand and roll until smooth. Place on a silicone {or parchment} lined baking sheet and add a few additional mini chocolate chips to the top {if desired}.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. You want to remove them from the oven when they are puffy and just starting to turn golden. The key to getting the super soft cookie is to not over bake them. Once you remove them from the oven, add the edible eyeballs to the top of each cookie and let them cool completely on the cookie sheet {if you can wait that long}. This will allow them to set up perfectly.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature {or in the refrigerator} for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

If you want to add more color to the cookies add different colored chocolates. You can find purple and neon green Halloween M&M's and they would be super fun.
Place the candy eyes on or next to chocolate chips. Once the chocolate chips harden they will hold the edible eyes in the cookie.
