Making these cookies earned me the title of “Best Mommy Ever!!!”. What I’m saying is, if you make these, children and sprinkle/candy lovers will adore you! Not only are these cookies really fun to look at, but they also taste amazing! Set them out for Easter next week and watch them disappear!
I made the mistake of walking down the Easter candy aisle at the grocery store last week, with all 5 kids in tow. Needless to say, we ended up with a few colorful candy items in the cart.
At first, I was thinking I would make a fun Easter fudge! Then I realized I forgot a key ingredient when I went shopping, and it was cold, sleeting, and extremely windy outside. I just didn’t have it in me to run back out to the store with my little ones.
I tried to come up with something colorful and fun that would be great for Easter, and then the idea for these cookies came to mind.
I made the cookie dough with my 3 middle boys. We baked them and the kids ooohhhhed and ahhhhhhed over the sprinkle cookies.
Then while they were playing, I dipped the cookies and added all the candy and sprinkles. You should have seen their faces when they saw these cookies on the counter. Their eyes were as big as saucers. CAN WE EAT ONE??
They each chose “the best” cookie and immediately dubbed me the “Best Mom Ever!” I’ll take it.
