Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. and spray a 12 count muffin tin with non stick spray.
- If using Pillsbury cookie dough like me, slice the roll into 12 equal slices and place each piece into each hole of the muffin tin.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes in the tin.
- Then gently use a spice jar or a shot glass to press the cookies down the middle to make the basket shape.
- Remove them from the muffin tin and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium sized bowl, add the softened butter and beat with an electric mixer for about 2-3 minutes until it's fluffy
- Carefully add in the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract.
- Next, add a few drops of food coloring and mix until the color is completely incorporated
- Place the icing in a plastic piping bag or ziplock bag and cut the corner off
- Pipe the icing into the cooled sugar cookie cups.
- Top with easter egg candies
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Use any favorite Easter candy for the toppings. You can even add a licorice rope or nerds rope for a handle if you'd like.
