Easter Sugar Cookie Bar

I am a sucker for easy holiday treats, especially easy to make ones! With a pack of teenage boys in the house I am not too sure that they appreciate how darling these look, but I do know that they are quite happy to eat them.

Too busy to make this right away? Pin it for later! Pin this easy recipe to your favorite board on Pinterest and it will be waiting there when you’re ready.

Were they still in elementary school, I would totally make these cookie bars for them to take and share with classmates. I miss the days of volunteering in their classroom and helping with Easter parties and events at school!

Sugar cookie dough is super versatile and easy to make with only a few ingredients from the grocery store. Start with butter, granulated sugar, all purpose flour and a splash of vanilla extract.

What are mini eggs?

Cadbury mini eggs are a classic Easter treat made with creamy milk chocolate and a colorful candy shell. The round egg shape and pastel candy coating is perfectly suited for spring time treats!
