Ingredients You Will Need
How to Make the Cookie Dough
Step 1: Cream together the butter and sugar in a mixer. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Add 3 drops of Pink food coloring and mix until combined. Finally, mix in the salt, baking soda, and flour.
Baking Instructions
Step 2: We decorated our Springtime Sugar Cookies with the Easter Bunny M&M’s that are available in Spring. You can find them in the Easter Candy aisle at Grocery stores, Target and Wal-Mart. Take a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Place the cookie dough balls approximately 2″ apart on the cookie sheet.
Step 3: Lightly press down on the ball to slightly flatten the cookie dough before baking. Press the Easter M&M’s onto the cookie dough ball. This will allow the colorful M&M’s to show up on the top of the baked cookies.
Steps 4-5: Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for 10-11 minutes. So pretty … so yummy!
Expert Tips and FAQs
Cookies should always be stored in an airtight container. They should be completely cooled before storing them. Cookies stored at room temperature should stay fresh for 3-4 days. You can also keep them in the refrigerator and that extends their freshness for up to a week. If you need them to last longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. You can pull them out of the freezer and leave them on the counter for 1 hour and they will be ready to eat.
You can find the Easter M&M’s in the Spring months in the Easter Candy section at most Grocery Stores and Big Box stores.
