Easter Bonnet Cookies
Since I have all boys, I never had the pleasure of buying an Easter Bonnet for a daughter (look out future granddaughter
) But I do remember wearing them as a young girl. These cookies bring back fun memories of special Easter outfits that I wore.
And because I’m all about creating easy treats for you, even though I make them from scratch, they still need to be easy.
I started by baking Almond Sugar Cookies, the same recipe that I borrowed from Bake at 350, and used on the Easter Egg Cupcakes. I used a 3 inch circle cookie cutter. I also baked some mini Vanilla Cupcakes.
I actually bought a can of frosting {gasp} I know…but I learned from my favorite cupcake book, Hello, Cupcake that canned frosting melts better than homemade when you are covering cookies and cupcakes. So, I gave it a try, and it was perfect.
Add a small dab of frosting to the middle of the cookie, cut a small amount of the mini cupcake off, depending on the size your cupcake is and place it on the cookie. Place cookies on cooling rack with a cookie sheet under to catch the frosting when it drips.
Melt frosting in microwave, it only takes about 30 seconds, I added a couple drops of red food color and a couple drops of Almond Extract for extra flavor. Spoon frosting over the cookie, let it drip down over the edges. Place in frig to set. Color extra frosting for decorating, I used yellow and a darker pink, and piped on the flowers, ribbons and dots. I also added a few round Sugar Pearls from Wilton.
Put them in bags, tie them up with a pretty ribbon and they make cute gifts too!
I'm one here too!!

Again, a Wonderful idea for Fun. I hope to make some Easter cupcakes with the kids today. Since we might have another wicked Thunder storm. We might even hunt for eggs in the house if the weather does not allow us to go outside. LOL! Well, I am hoping we can chat soon, Happy Easter "Resurrection Sunday" to you and everyone. Jesus is the Reason we Rejoice, for He has Risen. We have Salvation in HIM. :) Love you, Nene
