Why we love them:
- Quick and easy. With few ingredients and ready in minutes, these cookies are perfect!
- Delicious. Easter cookies are such a tasty treat, it’s impossible to just have one.
- For spring! These easy cookies look adorable and festive, perfect for Easter desserts and spring – Easter bunny ready!
- Change it up. The kids love to dip these beauties in milk or make our own cookie ice cream sandwiches. The possibilities are delicious!

Decorations. Try using Easter Sprinkles. Dip half the cookie (after baking) in melted white chocolate and add sprinkles to the cookies.
Storing
- STORE. Place cookies in an airtight container, along with a piece of white bread to help keep them soft, and then store them at room temperature for 4-5 days.
- FREEZE Easter cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- Store cookie dough. Cover the bowl and keep the dough in the fridge for up to 3 days before scooping and baking.
- Freeze cookie dough. Scoop the dough balls (without the added M&Ms on top), and line them up onto a baking sheet. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer until they are solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- To bake. Allow them to thaw on a cookie sheet for about 20 minutes, then, add extra M&Ms and chips to the top before baking.
