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

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and ensures even baking.
  • Arrange the cookie dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading as they bake.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Frost each cookie with a thin layer of vanilla frosting. Spread it evenly, covering the top to create a base for the toppings.
  • 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."
  • Sprinkle on the bunny mix sprinkles for a festive Easter touch. Press them gently into the frosting so they stay in place.
  • Let the frosting set for a few minutes before serving or storing. Enjoy these fun and festive cookies as an easy Easter treat!
