Betty Crocker Easter Egg Cookies

Creating beautiful springtime cookies seems to take a back seat to those other big holidays in the winter. Now there is no reason not to bring out a big bowl, a rolling pin, and the cookie cutters. We have an array of springtime ideas to share with you, starting with these chic and colorful cookies.

First, let’s talk about color. Who doesn’t like the idea of bright hues of pink, purple, green, and orange to awaken us from the darkness of winter and bring the colors of the season into your baking. In these cookies, we chose to use neon gel food colors for a more vibrant look, but the pastel pallet of colors would also be full of cheer.

Next, we think every cookie can be a work of art. And everyone is an artist. If that seems intimidating, have no fear. We guide you step-by-step through the easy process of creating these amazing cookie creations. All the design and decorating are done before the cookies bake. It’s a one and done procedure. And when you take the cookies out of the oven, it is akin to taking pottery from the kiln. The finished product is just a bit different than when it went into the fire.
