Egg Coloring, Cookies and Cupcakes too!

Over the last 3 weeks we have been making some Yummy Easter Treats!



Today (Saturday) we colored eggs and also made a *new* Easter Egg Treat.

Lets start with a few weeks ago.
I made Cupcakes for Olivia's school class.
These were 2 cute, and a big hit.

A few days before/after the cupcakes we did a batch of Easter cookies.
We used a Super Simple Suger Cookie recipe.
Ethan especially loved them.
The kids always love to help. ---->

I usually give them their own 'dough' to play with. :)
They love that part...
Photobucket
ARE THEY DONE YET???

I have about 10 Easter Cutters.
Most of them are from MY Childhood.
Thanks Mom for giving me the cookie cutters... using them brings back many memories, and the kids REALLY enjoy them too.

The kids played a few games while we waited for the cookies to cool off.
I snapped this while Olivia was teaching Evan the game of Janken (Jan-ken-pon).

They are done!

I remember when Mom would make 6~12 each...

Well... i think mine was Blue... and bunny like.
Anyways, we do the same... always using the same Easter Basket.

First of all those rice crispy eggs are such a great idea!! They turned out so good! Secondly, I can relate to the cookie cutters, my mom passes down all ours from when we were kids as well, I just love them!

Two things, love the cookie cutters that leave little impressions in the cookies...and LOVE the rice crispy eggs. Where did you find an egg mold like that? Totally going to steal your idea for next year. CUTE!
