For those of you looking forward to Easter time, the one thing that makes Easter very special are decorated Easter cookies. Just like Christmas cookies have become synonymous with Christmas time, so have Easter cookies become a part of Easter tradition. There are plenty of great ways to honor the Easter season and embellished Easter cookies are just one of them. Here are some tips on putting smiles on the faces of your kids or friends this Easter season.

Decorated Easter Cookies Come in All Kinds of Shapes and Sizes
Decorated Easter cookies can come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and if you can imagine it you can truly make it. For most people Easter is associated with bunnies, rabbits, chicks, lambs and Easter eggs. For the most part you can generally find all these shapes and more in the form of cookie cutters.

Cookie cutters are frequently easy to purchase at almost any discount shops, grocers, and craft shops. Or you can frequently design them yourself- you just need some pliable metal and an idea. If you do not have a cookie cutter, no big deal. In fact many people that are artistically inclined choose to cut their own shapes out of cookie dough by hand, without the use of any cookie cutter.

Decorated Easter Cookies Start Out with Scrumptious Cookie Dough
The most essential thing about the adorned Easter cookies that you make is that they need to taste just as awesome as they look. No one likes an awful tasting cookie. For many chefs, a tasty cookie starts out with delicious cookie dough. Yes, you can purchase the dough already pre-made and ready to cut, but for the purists out there, start with a family recipe that is either chocolate chip or of the sugar cookie nature.

Decorate Your Cookie Using the Accessories of the Trade
It's easy to adorn your Easter cookies, just make sure you have all the tools of the trade. They usually involve, food coloring, colored frosting, sprinkles, delicious candies such as licorice, M& M’s, nuts, marshmallows, etc. Once you have gotten the cookie shape, let yourself or your little ones use their creative magic to make beautifully decorated Easter cookies. You can find food coloring and many cool decorating accessories at your local grocer. You can even purchase ready-made Easter embellishments to add to your cookies, cakes or Easter eggs.

Show Off Your Cookies
Once your newly designed Easter cookies are complete, make sure to show them off to the rest of the family and even give them away to your coworkers and friends. Enjoy the Easter spirit by arranging your yummy and beautiful embellished Easter cookies.

One original trick is to take some pictures of your adorned Easter cookies and include them in your annual Easter scrapbook, this way you can always look back at the delicious and colorful adorned Easter cookies that you have made.

You can also type the cookie recipe on a pretty note card and include a photo of your Easter cookies to give to family and coworkers. Many people cherish handmade gifts, especially when it's a beloved family recipe.
