We Love Spring!
I love Sugar Cookies! They are perfect for decorating for any holiday or occasion! Easter and springtime call for pastel-colored desserts with Cadbury eggs, which is why we made this version today. I love our bakery-style Sugar Cookies and thought it would be fun to turn them into little bird’s nests. The kids especially loved these Easter sugar cookies! Why we love them:
Easy. These cookies are very simple, but do require some chill time! Quick. If you’re in a hurry, easily use store-bought cookie dough. Delicious and cute! Everyone loved these bright and cheery Easter sugar cookies, that are a great Easter dessert to add to the menu.

How to Make Easter Sugar Cookies
Storage Info
STORE. Place Easter sugar cookies in a Ziploc bag and store them at room temperature for 4-5 days. FREEZE. Wait to frost the bird’s nest cookies. After the cookies have cooled, stack the unfrosted cookies in an airtight freezer-safe container. Separate the layers with wax or parchment paper. Label and freeze for up to 3 months. Freeze the frosting in a separate container. Store the frosting. To make ahead of time, or store leftovers, keep the frosting in the fridge for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw and, if needed, whip it with a whisk to fluff it up a bit before piping it onto the cookie.
If you do not have a piping bag set, use a large plastic Ziploc bag and cut the corner off. You won’t have the grooves, but you can still pipe out a fluffy nest of frosting. Recipe Video Recipe Video Recipe Video
