Easter Cookies 🐰🍪
Swap the Chocolate Eggs for Homemade Easter Cookies This Year 🐰🍪
Delicious, creative, and just as sweet – here’s why Easter cookies are the perfect alternative to traditional chocolate eggs.
When we think of Easter, it’s usually colourful foil-wrapped chocolate eggs that come to mind. But if you’re looking for something a little different (and maybe a little more personal) this year, why not try making your own Easter-themed cookies? Whether you’re baking for kids, friends, family, or even hosting an Easter egg hunt, handmade biscuits are a fun and memorable treat that can be customised to suit everyone.
Why Cookies Instead of Chocolate Eggs?
Don’t get us wrong – we love a chocolate egg as much as the next person. But here are a few reasons why cookies make a fantastic (and tasty!) alternative:
✔️ Fully Customisable – From bunnies and chicks to eggs and spring flowers, you can decorate cookies however you like. Use pastel royal icing, edible paint, or fondant embossers for a professional finish.
✔️ Dietary Flexibility – It’s easier to tailor cookies to dietary needs, whether it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, or low sugar.
✔️ Fun for All Ages – Cookie decorating is a brilliant Easter activity for kids and adults alike. Get the whole family involved!
✔️ Gifting Made Easy – Pop a few beautifully decorated biscuits into a cello bag with a ribbon, and you’ve got an adorable homemade Easter gift.
✔️ No Chocolate Meltdowns – Unlike eggs, cookies won’t melt in warm hands or under the sun during your Easter garden hunt.
What You’ll Need to Get Started 🍪✨
If you’ve never made decorated cookies before, don’t worry – it’s easier than you think. Here’s a basic list to get you started:
-
Your favourite sugar cookie or shortbread recipe
-
Easter-themed cookie cutters (think bunnies, chicks, carrots, and eggs)
-
Rolling pin & baking trays
-
Royal icing or fondant
-
Paint palettes or brushes for decorating
-
Piping bags or decorating tools
Make It Magical with Cookie Cutters & Embossers
Cookie cutters are where the magic starts. Choose from a wide range of Easter-themed designs like bunny faces 🐰, Easter eggs 🥚, chicks 🐥, or even scripture-inspired shapes. Embosser stamps take things a step further by pressing fine details into your dough or fondant, giving a clean, polished look that’s perfect for gifting.
Our Easter Cookie Cutter Collection includes everything from cute characters to elegant script embossers – ideal for creating standout biscuits that taste as good as they look.
Add Colour with Sweet Sticks Tools 🎨
For next-level decorating, Sweet Sticks’ edible art tools are a must. Their edible paints, brushes, stencils and palettes are beginner-friendly and give professional-looking results in minutes.
Let the kids paint their own cookie with PYO (Paint Your Own) stencils, or create sophisticated designs using the Paint & Dust with Zero Fuss method for a clean, crisp finish every time.
Wrap It Up – Literally 🎁
Once your cookies are baked and decorated, let them dry completely before packaging. Use cello bags, kraft boxes, or small tins tied with ribbon or twine. Add a tag with a sweet Easter message and you’ve got yourself a charming homemade gift that’s way more thoughtful than a supermarket egg.
Final Thoughts
This Easter, think outside the (chocolate) box. Homemade cookies are more than just a sweet treat – they’re a creative activity, a thoughtful gift, and a chance to spend quality time with the people you love. Plus, they’re just as delicious as anything you’ll find on the confectionery shelf.
So grab your cutters, whip up a batch of biscuit dough, and bring a little handmade joy to your Easter celebrations. 🐣💛
