Since making those Rice Krispy Treats, John.e was able to source a set of spring/Easter-themed cookie cutters, some of which include a butterfly, a bunny, an umbrella, a bird, and a flower. I wanted them to be Easter-y but ended up using a heart-shaped cookie cutter. The same thing happened a few years ago when I shared my Cookie Cutter Rice Krispy Treats recipe. In fact, I wanted to share them last year but refused to do it, because I didn’t have Easter-themed cookie cutters. I couldn’t wait to share these Frosted Easter Egg Cookies with you. & follow the quick and easy instructions!

Use spices only, because extracts add moisture, which will likely result in a cookie with not so defined shapes.Ĭlick the in the lower right corner of your screen I use that one quite often! The only thing you cannot do with this recipe is adding extracts. One of my favourite flavours in shortbread cookies is anise. Have you ever tried seasoning your shortbread cookies? I do it all the time! It’s so easy to add a little bit of cinnamon to the flour and beat it into the butter and sugar mixture. There are so many options, for example, you can tint the cookie dough with food colouring and make a shortbread cookie with more colour and more pizzazz! Additionally, you can roll them out and use your favourite cookie cutter shapes or cut them into squares with a knife. You can top the baked cookies with royal icing as I did if you’d prefer.

This recipe has all of that, plus one added bonus – it’s adaptable! You can omit the sprinkles if you want. What I mean by a good shortbread recipe is one that is not too difficult to master, takes very little time, is inexpensive, and holds its shape when baked – just like these Frosted Easter Egg Cookies! A good shortbread recipe is hard to come by, even though there are many different varieties out there.
