Here is an easy Easter cookies recipe that looks festive and fresh, just like the season! My kids smile when they see fresh baked cookies on the counter! And I adore making it for them. This is an easy springtime cookie recipe with cheery colors and a jovial flavor. These are perfect cookies to take to a church potluck, birthday party cookies, and Easter cookies. Plus, they are so simple to make!
In fact, these are so incredibly easy to make, my 7, 5 and 3 year olds all gather around the counter and help me. Dipping the cookies in the melted chocolate can be dangerous, so I had to do this with only one child at a time. Then there was the added problem of, “how do I keep my children from eating the cookies before the chocolate hardens?” But adding the sprinkles was a job for all three!
And don’t forget to save a few for Easter! Just wrap them in a decorative cloth with a ribbon and you have a meaningful DIY Easter basket gift!

Fun recipe, Annie! I bet my daughter would enjoy this, too.
Oh those look so good and so cute for Easter! I will have to make those for Carter! He just loves when I make the fun cute ones for the holidays!
way off topic, where do you buy jeans? searched your pinterest pins and found some cute stuff (obviously) but i have no idea where to look. I always love the country stuff you post so thought you might have an idea of brands or stores for me to check. Most of what I have/had was 5 years old and came from walmart. They all ripped out at the same time. I now have a purplish pair of cords from kohls (again old and bought on deep discount) and a faded pair of black jeans, from walmart.
i just bought a pair of Berne from the farm store because they were clearanced out to $3. For $3 I can wear them at home, no matter how they look. We went there because my husband got some jeans there- his $40 levis from penney’s ripped completely apart after only a year. Talk about po’d.. my $20walmart ones lasted longer.. so anyway, that’s what we went to the farm store, its’ cheaper than the dept store for him.. and they are tougher..and I saw a clearance rack with womens stuff and a ‘short’ length so i got a pair.
Short. 3x C section. I have no idea what to do about the rise–get a bigger size and go over the weird belly skin? go under and wear a belt? Most of the time anything I try on just sags down to my hips anyway..I’m tempted to buy men’s jeans and have the dang things hemmed.. but..
I wear boots or flip flops pretty much so I need bootcut both for actual boots and to balance out my wide shoulders and awkward belly size…. am I going to find anything at kohls/macys/penney’s or what? anything fancier than that requires an hour trek to a mall, and probably a babysitter. i know you really HAVE to try on jeans and ordering online is a cr**shoot. would target have anything like that in a short length? I know penney’s has/had petite but often they’re old lady stylish..and I dont want look like an old lady at 34! I’ve had some luck with kohls in the past but last time I went (ages ago) I had to go up 3 or 4 sizes from my normal size and then they were baggy at the hips and thighs-maybe just a bad year for pants? I go up and down 5 lbs pretty regularly while nursing, and that will be for quite a while. I’d love about 3 more pair of jeans or pants that make me feel good and won’t shred–to wear to everything from church to school stuff coming up later this year and out to work in the yard.. help me!!
Loved this recipe. Thumbs up! Can I use brown sugar instead of white? Because I don’t use white sugar.
