Easy to make soft & chewy sugar cookies with M&M’s in the shape of the Easter bunny pressed in!
Easter M&M Cookies
My Aunt Laurina doesn’t just catch all of my typos, she sends me cute ideas and inspiration, too! She sent me a picture of these Easter Bunny M&M Cookies and I knew I had to make them!
I used my recipe for Soft & Chewy M&M Easter Cookies and just changed how I put the M&M’s in the tops of the cookies to make them look like little Easter bunnies. I just love these!
Also, my cookies don’t come out of the oven perfectly round. I nudge the sides of the cookies into a better shaped circle immediately after removing them from the oven. You should give it a try sometime! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised how easy it is and how much better you feel about the look of your cookies.
If you like cute Easter treats, then I think you’ll love Mini Bird Nest Donuts, Easter Egg Bird Nest Cookie Cups, Peeps Bunny Sugar Cookies, and Easter Bunny Cinnamon Rolls, too!
