Easter Cookies

We love decorating cookies around here. Although Christmas is the traditional time to do it, we always seem to be inundated with other baking projects around that time of year. So we find other times to decorate cookies. Usually Halloween cookies squeeze their way in. It's been a while since we've made Easter cookies. I forgot how colorful and beautiful they are! This was the first time we've made butterfly cookies. I thought they would be fun to decorate, but when it came time to do it, I didn't know where to begin. We both tried to do symmetrical designs. I usually went the way of drawing a silly smily face. Maybe next year we'll do fewer butterflies and more of my personal favorite...eggs!

And here's the whole lot!

How lovely! I think the Easter cookies, specifically the pastel colors, look so fresh. In addition, the rabbits are 100% cuter than gingerbread men.

Hi, Darlene! I agree that the pastel colors are gorgeous and the bunnies are cuter, but when it comes to decorating, gingerbread men have way more clothing options than a bunny. I couldn't come up with much more than eyes, a nose and a fluffy tail, for the bunnies. I guess I need to brainstorm before next year's batch. :)

So what's going on? Have you not cooked/baked since Easter?
