But there’s no judgment using a semi-homemade recipe either, like this one.
These festive Easter cookies are great to bring to your child’s classroom for a treat or to serve at an Easter brunch or on your dessert table. No one will be able to resist the cute Easter egg sugar cookies.

Equipment
- baking sheet
- rolling pin
- egg-shaped cookie-cutter
- small bowl
Ingredients
- 16.5-ounce roll of refrigerated sugar cookie dough (located in the grocery store aisle with the canned biscuits)
- 1 cup powdered sugar

- ¼ cup Easter sprinkles
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray if needed. Set aside.
On a lightly floured surface: knead dough and roll out, using a little more flour, if needed. Roll the dough out until it is about ¼ inch thick.
Using different sizes of egg-shaped cookie cutters, cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Re-roll scarps and keep cutting shapes until you have no dough left. Bake for 8-11 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to the cooling rack to cool completely.
