My Carrot Cake Cookies are great cookies for Easter, but I’ve actually wanted to make these cookies for a long time. Creating “grass” frosting on cookies and cakes is fun, and the addition of M&M’S cute, little milk chocolate eggs on top makes these so sweet and perfect for Easter. Lindt chocolate makes some candy coated eggs that are perfect for these cookies too. Or use spring-colored jelly beans!
How to make Easter Grass Sugar Cookies:
The cookies themselves are a soft sugar cookie. The dough is chilled for a few hours (or overnight), then rolled into balls, flatted with a drinking glass dipped in sugar, and baked into nice, round cookies. The recipe makes about 21 cookies.
Supplies needed for making grass out of frosting:
The frosting “grass” is just squeezed through the tip of the pastry bag onto the cookies. Short squeezes of frosting onto the cookies will create the grassy look you’re going for. Candy coated milk chocolate eggs made by M&M’s and Lindt come in 4 colors, which is really great since four eggs will fit nicely on top of your Easter grass cookies. For best results, I’d frost these the day you’d like to serve them. If you make them the day before, it’s probably best to keep them refrigerated in a single layer until the day of serving.
Here’s what you’ll get out of these delightful Easter cookies: a soft and sweet sugar cookie topped with grassy green, vanilla buttercream and the bonus of crunchy, candy-coated milk chocolate eggs on top. They’re so fun for Easter. Be sure to make some Easter Cupcakes too. Enjoy!
