How to make the Cookie Dough
Step 1: To make the chocolate cookie dough, mix together the dry ingredients (including the cocoa powder) and set aside. Cream together the butter and white and brown sugar. Mix in the eggs and vanilla. Finally, add in the dry ingredients 1 cup at a time.
Baking Instructions
Step 2: Take a spoonful of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Slightly press down the cookie dough ball.
Step 3: Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool.
How to Make the Buttercream Frosting
Step 4: While the cookies are cooling, make a batch of our amazing The Best Buttercream Frosting. We separated the frosting into three portions and then tinted the frosting green, pink, and purple using our Wilton Color Right Food Coloring in the following combinations:
Green – 3 drops of yellow and 1 drop of blue
Pink – 3 drops of pink
Purple – 3 drops of pink and 1 small drop of blue
Frosting the Cookies
Step 5: Once the cookies have cooled, gather them up along with the frosting and some pretty sprinkles. It is time to frost some Easter Cookies!
Step 6: Use a knife to frost the Chocolate Cookies with the pink, green, and purple The Best Buttercream Frosting. Before the frosting had a chance to set, we sprinkled on a few colorful confetti sprinkles to our Frosted Easter Cookies! So pretty!
