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?

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 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!
