Easter Egg Sugar Cookies

Easter Egg Sugar Cookies

Another holiday, and another excuse to decorate sugar cookies! I just adore decorating sugar cookies because of all of the colorful and creative variations that are possible. Just a few weeks ago I made some Shamrock cookies, a couple of which were less-than-traditional, and that is the fun of cookie decorating. The wonderful thing about doing Easter eggs is that they inherently lend themselves to being a blank canvas of sorts. Think of all the fun designs you would make on colored eggs when you were a kid. Now you can do the same thing, but on a cookie. These are perfect for a little something extra on your dessert table this Sunday, and they are sure to be a huge hit with the kids!

Are you ready to get your cookie cutter out? Just go and grab my sugar cookie recipe and instructions on how to decorate sugar cookies with royal icing. Have fun!

Happy Easter!

Those are really awesome! I just posted some really cute baby chick sugar cookies today that use an egg shaped cutter. (Yours look much better skilled than mine.)
