If you have been following along the past week or two, you may have noticed that I have been sharing A TON of Easter themed recipes. I absolutely love the Easter holiday, and I have so much fun sharing Easter recipes each year – so much so, that I have my friend Kari helping me to provide even MORE Easter recipes for you guys for this year, like this PEEPS Easter Sugar Cookie Bars Recipe! This PEEPS Easter Sugar Cookie Bars Recipe is super, super easy to make, and it comes out really cute and whimsical. These sugar cookie bars will look adorable sitting on your Easter dessert table at your family gathering, and they’re really fun to make with the kids.

This PEEPS Easter Sugar Cookie Bars Recipe is so fun and easy to make…because we totally cheat and use refrigerated, pre-made sugar cookie dough! Yes, of course you can make your sugar cookie dough from scratch if you like, but why waste time when you can use ready-made dough? Let the kids spread it out for you and feel super accomplished…without any of the mess usually involved in making sugar cookies!

Oh…and bonus? There are no dishes to wash afterwards either! I really despise washing dishes, ever since we realized that our new kitchen faucet wasn’t compatible with the connector for our portable dishwasher. BOO!

Easter is such a fun holiday for the kids, what with Easter Egg Hunts, Easter plays at church, dying Easter eggs, getting to take their photo with the Easter bunny at the mall (do they still do that? Angeline is WAY too old for me to know about these things anymore!), and waking up looking for that Easter basket on Sunday morning!

I still give Angeline a stuffed animal and Easter candy, even though she’s 21…probably because my own mother still gives ME an Easter basket – and you guys know that I am well beyond the appropriate age of receiving an Easter basket! Ha ha! Hey, some traditions die hard, okay?

PEEPS Easter Sugar Cookie Bars Recipe

PEEPS Easter Sugar Cookie Bars Recipe Ingredients

1 package, 16.5 oz, refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 tub, 16 oz, white frosting
green food coloring (I use Wilton Color Gels in Leaf Green)
Marshmallow Peeps
Mini Robin’s Eggs
Edible Easter Grass

PEEPS Easter Sugar Cookie Bars Recipe Directions

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9×13 baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Break apart cookie dough and press evenly into pan. Bake for 16-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.

Add food coloring to frosting and mix well to color green. Set aside.

Before cutting cookie bars, set a peep or two onto the cookies in the pan.

Use a knife to cut the bars, the peep bars will be a little bigger than the nest bars. You should end up with about 15 bars.

Frost each bar with green frosting.

To create the nest, take 3 strands of edible grass and roll it into a small circle, about the size of a dollar coin. As you release the grass, it should open up a bit to be about the size of the cookie. Place on top.

Place a peep on top of the grass with two eggs next to it.

To make the nest cookies, place three to four eggs into the center of the nest.

Once you alternate, you will have a cute little assortment of Easter Sugar Cookie Bars!
