Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tbsp green sprinkles
  • 1 tub Duncan Hines white frosting
  • Green food coloring
  • 1/2 cup fancy coconut
  • 1 cup Cadbury mini eggs

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees f.
  • 2. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin (24 count). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • 3. In a large bowl with electric mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, combine dry ingredients. Add butter, egg and vanilla and mix until a soft dough forms. Add green sprinkles.
  • 4. Use a cookie scoop to form uniform sized cookie dough balls.
  • 5. Place one dough ball into each greased muffin cup. Spread the dough up the sides of the tin to form a cup shape.
  • 6. Bake until cookies are lightly brown around the edges, 10-12 minutes.
  • 7. Remove the tray from the oven and while still hot, use the end of the muddler to press down the middle of the cookie cups.
  • 8. Remove the cookie cups from the muffin tin and place them on the prepared cookie sheet or a wire cooling rack.
  • 9. Place the coconut in a plastic bag with a few drops of green food coloring. Mix together until the coconut is a light green shade.
  • 10. In a medium bowl combine the frosting and a few drops of green food coloring. Mix until a medium green hue is achieved.
  • 11. Spoon the frosting into a piping bag. Tip: a ziploc bag can also be used.
  • 12. Cut the tip from the bag and pipe the frosting into the cups.
  • 13. Press the green coconut into the frosting on top of the cookies.
  • 14. Place 2-3 mini cadbury eggs into the top of each cookie.

Notes

I use the round end of a cocktail muddler to create the dough cups. You could also use a spoon or the bottom of a small shot glass.
