These classic Easter sugar cookies are as much about the experience as they are about the taste. Soft, buttery, and lightly sweet, they create the perfect canvas for all those pastel icings and playful shapes—bunnies, eggs, flowers, and more.
They’re the kind of recipe that brings people together, whether you’re baking quietly on your own or decorating with family around the table. Simple, nostalgic, and a little bit magical, just like Easter should feel.
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups flour
- 1 cup butter
