Directions

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.

Instead of coconut I just died the frosting green and piped it in basket for grass.

Is anyone else having a problem w/ the edges of the cookies turning too brown and the middle not cooking all the way? I've reduced the cooking temp and tried little foil edge covers but I'm not having alot of luck. I've done both the mini and regular size cups. I FINALLY got it to come out the correct shape but it is getting too brown, it gets too crispy when cooled... HELP

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.
