A creative and fun idea for all of those who love making festive cookies. Start with a basic sugar cookie dough and icing – shape the dough using an egg-shaped cookie cutter. After frosting, decorate the egg-shaped cookie with jelly beans! The jelly beans will look like mini eggs. You can easter-fi your cookie even more by using bright, light colors for the jelly beans or outlining the cookie in bright frosting.

2. Peeps

Sometimes, chocolate becomes the star of Easter, and we forget about our marshmallow friends! Peeps are sugary tasty marshmallows covered with sprinkles that are perfect for satisfying easter cravings. Their festive shape can also help to bring cheer to the holiday. They can be bought shaped like bunnies, chicks, and also eggs.

3. Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Eggs
