    Easter Cookies with Robin Eggs Candy and Toasted Coconut with White Flowers

    Just like candy canes at Christmas, after Easter you’ll probably have leftover Robin Eggs candy. This easy drop cookie recipe puts it to good use! Paired with toasted coconut and vanilla sugar cookies, the malted chocolate flavor of Robin Eggs is delicious here.

    But you don’t have to wait until after Easter to make them. These cookies are a lovely addition to your springtime holiday dessert table!

    My Easter Cookies with Robin Eggs Candy and Toasted Coconut are crispy outside and chewy inside. (My favorite cookie texture!) However, if you prefer a thicker cookie, I give easy instructions in the recipe card below on how to achieve that.

    These pretty spring cookies are great for Easter or any springtime gathering!

    Drop cookies are one of the easiest kinds of cookies to make! For drop cookies, the batter is dropped from a spoon or a scoop onto the cookie tray.

    Chocolate chip cookies are a form of drop cookies.

    Easter Cookies Decorating Ideas

    Holidays are always a fun opportunity to dress up cookies to match the occasion! For Easter, decorate cookies with pretty pastel colors, as well as bunny themes, eggs, bird nests, etc. Coconut is a common flavor, and sometimes it’s used as a decoration and made to look like grass.

    Pro Tip: Check out my post on Healthy Sweet Eats on How to Naturally Dye Shredded Coconut Green.

    Easter Sugar Cookies

    Cut-out sugar cookies are easy to frost and decorate for an Easter theme! But if you’re looking for a one-stop-shop, this recipe is fun and festive with no need for frosting. The pretty Robin Eggs in these cookies add both color and flavor.

    Spring Cookies

    Like Easter cookies, spring cookies are often decorated in soft pastel colors. Generally, Easter cookies and spring cookies look quite similar.

    A few common dessert flavors for spring are coconut, citrus, almond, white chocolate, and carrot cake. And yes, I’ve even had carrot cake cookies. They are delicious, moist and chewy, and packed with flavor!

    Total Time 42 minutes mins
    Course Dessert
    Cuisine American
    Servings 24 cookies
    Calories 164 kcal

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour see Note
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut toasted
    • 1 ½ cups Robin Eggs candy lightly crushed

    Instructions
     

    • Cream together the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt, and then stir in the coconut and candy.
    • Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the dough and refrigerate until fully chilled, about 2 hours (this step is necessary!).
    • Preheat the oven to 350F; line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat liners.
    • Use a 2-tablespoon-size scoop to drop the cookies into balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets (these spread out quite a bit; I bake 8 on a half sheet pan).
    • Bake until golden on the bottom, but still a touch doughy in the center, about 10 to 12 minutes. If cooking more than 1 tray at a time, rotate the trays once halfway through. (Don't over-bake!)
    • Cool and serve.

    Faith's Tips

    • Nutrition information is for 1 cookie.
    • To make these cookies a bit thicker, add an additional ½ cup all-purpose flour. Keep the rest of the recipe the same.
    • To bump up the coconut flavor, add ½ teaspoon coconut flavor.
    • Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
