Easter Egg Cookies
My mother started baking these cookies with me and my eight brothers and sisters when I was a child, and I carried on the tradition with our four youngsters when they were little. Now, my children are grown and can make these cookies with their own tots. —Barbara Neuweg, West Point, Iowa

Reviews
The cookies were easy to make, looked great, just like the picture, but I was disappointed with the taste. I would not use this recipe again.
These are the same cookies my mother made with me when I was growing up! She got the recipe from a friend, whose mother passed it on to her. They are an Easter tradition in our family, too. They're simple, beautiful and delicious - thank you for sharing them.
This is a fun recipe to make with my two girls ages 5 & 7. They were help with everything and LOVED decorating them!
