1
pouch (1 lb. 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix
1
tablespoon Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1/3
cup butter or margarine, softened
1
egg
1
bottle (2.25 oz) Betty Crocker® pink or blue colored sugar
1
container (12 oz) Betty Crocker® Whipped fluffy white frosting
2

  • 1 Heat oven to 375° F. Grease or spray 32 miniature muffin cups. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, butter and egg until dough forms.
  • 2 Roll dough into 32 (1 1/4-inch) balls; roll in colored sugar. Press 1 ball into bottom and up side of each muffin cup.
  • 3 Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set and edges are light golden brown. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove to cooling racks.
  • 4 Add coconut to a 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add 3 to 4 drops food color and shake until well blended. It may be necessary to add 1 to 2 teaspoons water to help disperse the color evenly or additional food color until desired color is reached.
  • 5 Frost top of each cookie. Decorate with colored coconut and jelly beans. Tie a small ribbon bow on 5-inch piece of pipe cleaner; insert into each basket for handle.

For even baking, make sure cookie dough balls are of the same size.

        These Easter 'basket' cookies were delicious! They took awhile to assemble & decorate with the frosting, M&M eggs & I used chocolate licorice for handles but they were worth the time. My granddaughters loved them! I will definitely make them again.

        I didn't have a mini cupcake pan so I made them a little bigger and the shape wasn't quite as "basket like" but they did turn out super cute once decorated and the kids loved them. Tasty too, I wish I'd have read the suggestion about green sprinkles on some for non-coconut lovers, but maybe next time.

        I seperated a licorice whip string tied it in a bow and pressed it into the warm cookie and added green sprinkles in half and candy robin eggs in half m&m's in the other half, and it does look like a nest. You can't eat the pipe cleaner.
