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!

Part candy, part cookie, these candy nests are easy to make and the crunchy, salty pretzels are delicious with the sweet butterscotch coating. Kids can help by breaking the pretzels, scooping the nests and arranging the eggs in them.

These cute, spring chicks are the perfect addition to any Easter dessert spread. Their oval shape makes them really doable for bakers and decorators of all skill levels — and kids of all ages will love customizing the eggs that these baby chicks are peeping out of!

This no-bake treat is the perfect addition to any Easter cookie plate. White melting wafers and mini marshmallows transform these cookies-and-cream bites into impressive bunnies that are sure to be a hit!
