Fun Easter Cookies
Colorful and chewy cookies coming your way! These cookies are so simple to make! I always have people ask me how my cookies stay so soft and chewy! For so long, I have kept this a secret and I have FINALLY decided to share. These cookies are fun and easy for all ages!I like to make my cookies on the larger side and I like them to be in a perfect circle. I use a 1.5 tablespoon scooper to scoop the cookie dough and place on the pan. These scoopers make the perfect cookie shape! This made about 20 cookies and one tiny one for my son.
One of my favorite combinations of all time is Peanut Butter and Banana! I think it is the perfect spring taste! Peanut butter and banana cookies!? This mama must be going BANANAS! I promise you that you will love these cookies! They have been kid approved and taste tested with adults of all ages! I like to use the Reese’s Pieces Easter Peanut Butter Pastel Eggs , but you can totally switch out the candies to fit your mood!
