Easter Sugar Cookies Recipe With Jellybeans

eater sugar cookies with jellybeans 1

With Easter around the corner, I thought that these Easter Sugar Cookies with Jellybeans on top would be just the perfect cookie to make! Of course, we all know that I love making cookies. These Easter cookies are so super simple to make, are super adorable, and will add a little happiness to the faces of everyone around them to enjoy.

The sugar crystals that they are rolled in helps create a little bit texture, and a nice sweetened crunch when you bite into them. I can only image how many of these cookies that Angela is going to inhale! So, I guess I better make a triple batch for the whole family to enjoy…at least for the little time that the cookies will be around. I’m completely sure that you’re family is going to enjoy them as much as mine are.

    1. Your recipe contradicts it’s self.
      The written recipe say to put jelly beans on after coming out of oven, in your pictures it
      state that you put jelly beans on before putting in oven, which one is it.

      1. Hi Janet! I think I might not have had enough coffee when I did this. My total apologies. I fixed it! Thank you Eagle Eyes! You place the Jellybeans into the center of the cookies AFTER they bake 🙂
