How to Make M&Ms Bunny Easter Sugar Cookies
Here are the ingredients you need to make these bunny Easter sugar cookies with M&Ms, plus step by step instructions for how to make them.
Ingredients
- 16 oz package Pillsbury Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough (the ready to bake individual pieces)
- 1 cup vanilla frosting
- 72 M&Ms – Easter Pastel blend
- Bunny Mix Sprinkles
Step by Step Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and ensures even baking.
2. Arrange the cookie dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading as they bake.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn a light golden brown. Be careful not to overbake – sugar cookies should stay soft in the center.
4. Cool the cookies by letting them sit on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This gives them time to firm up slightly while staying soft inside. Let them cool completely before decorating.
5. Frost each cookie with a thin layer of vanilla frosting. Spread it evenly, covering the top to create a base for the toppings.
6. To create a bunny paw print, place one M&M in the center of the cookie. Then, add two more M&Ms of the same color, positioned slightly above and at an angle on either side, forming the bunny’s “toes.”
7. Sprinkle on the bunny mix sprinkles for a festive Easter touch. Press them gently into the frosting so they stay in place.
8. Let the frosting set for a few minutes before serving or storing. Enjoy these fun and festive cookies as an easy Easter treat!
