There’s no shortage of fun and adorable desserts for Easter. And, as much we love baking a festive cake or whipping up a plateful of really cute cupcakes, there’s nothing like a batch of freshly baked cookies. This time of year we always have a few on hand since they can easily do double duty as table decor or party favors. You’ll find that there’s a design for every celebration but we’re partial to these almost-too-pretty-to-eat Easter eggs. We took our best sugar cookie recipe and gave it a festive twist. The cookies look like they have been dip-dyed just like a classic Easter egg. By tinting a simple royal icing with your choice of colors, you can create an array of beautifully swirled cookies—with ease!

These lemony Italian cookies are traditional treats in the southern part of the country but are also often found at Italian-American bakeries around Easter time. While they have several different Italian names you will most likely see them labeled "lemon drops” in the States. They are light, not too sweet and have a tender, buttery crumb. Dipped in a thin lemony glaze and decorated with holiday-inspired sprinkles, they are the perfect festive addition to any table.
