Easy Easter Cookies made 3 different ways, all from a package of Betty Crocker's Sugar Cookie Mix
Servings: 36
Equipment
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 package (17-1/2 ounces) Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Cadbury Mini Eggs (optional)
Instructions
- Position an oven rack in the center of your oven and heat the oven to 375F degrees.
- Pull out 2 or 3 cookie sheets and set them aside.
- Mix the cookie dough according to the directions on the package using softened (not melted) butter. It's really pretty easy. Just dump the mix into a bowl. Add the softened butter and an egg and stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
- For Plain Sugar Cookies: Place tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart on cool ungreased cookie sheets.
- For Sugar-Topped Cookies: Toll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll them in colored sugar crystals and place them 2 inches apart on the cool ungreased cookie sheets.
- For Cadbury Mini Egg Topped Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on cool ungreased cookied sheets. Top each cookie with 2 Cadbury Mini Eggs.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are light golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheets for a minute or two before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with remaining cookie dough, being sure that the cookie sheets have cooled before placing more dough on them. (I sometimes rinse the backs of the cookie sheets under cold water to speed up the process.)
