How to Make Easter Cookie Baskets for Your Friends

Your friends will start to salivate when you present them with these festive cookie baskets.

Things You'll Need

• Colored Cellophanes
• Colored Plastic Eggs
• Paper Easter Grass
• Ribbons
• Woven Baskets
• Candies
• Cookie Dough
• Easter Cookie Cutters
• Colored Plastic Wrap
• Woven baskets

Instructions

1. Buy several pastel-colored woven baskets and decorate them with ribbon.

2. Fill the bottoms with brightly colored paper Easter grass and foil-wrapped chocolate eggs.

3. Whip up sugar cookie Easter eggs. Use an egg-shaped cookie cutter and then decorate the cookies with icing and sprinkles. If you can find a carrot-shaped cookie cutter, make carrot-shaped cookies and decorate them with orange and green frosting.

4. Make chocolate chip cookie dough, but instead of adding chocolate chips, mix in a bag of pastel M&Ms.

5. Mix up Rice Krispies treats, cut them into egg shapes and then wrap them in colored plastic wrap. Hold the plastic wrap in place with Easter stickers.

6. Fill a few plastic eggs with candy or other small treats such as tea bags, nuts and mints.

7. Arrange the cookies and candy in the basket.

8. Write out your cookie recipes on a card and decorate it with stickers or stamps. Punch a hole in one corner and use ribbon to attach it to an Easter cookie cutter. Include this treat inside the basket or tie it to the handle.

9. Wrap the entire basket in colored cellophane (to keep the cookies fresh) and tie it at the top with a big bow.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't have time to make cookies from scratch, take a roll of slice-and-bake sugar cookies and roll the entire thing in sprinkles for a homemade touch. Slice and bake according to package directions.
