Easter is a special time, not only because of the meaning, symbolism and traditions it brings, but also because of the spring feelings it awakens in us. Make this time unforgettable for your family and your children by baking Easter cookies together. Follow a recipe to make the cookies or use refrigerated cookie dough. Roll out the dough and use cookie cutters to create beautiful eggs, bunnies and chicks. And then comes the best part – decorating the cookies with icing and other treats. You can also package the cookies and give them to your friends. Check out our ideas for great Easter motifs and get inspired.
