Little Chick Easter Sugar Cookies

These Little Chick Easter Sugar Cookies will bring a smile to everyone’s face, and they’re almost too cute to eat. Almost.

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

What could be cuter this Easter or spring than these Little Chick Easter Sugar Cookies?? The cookies are soft and chewy, the frosting is perfectly creamy, and the decorations are just too cute! And, it’s a great recipe to make with the kiddos. Mine was all about helping every step of the way. Though placing the decorations can be a little tricky for little hands, it’s still fun for them to try, and to make their own personal little chick!

We went to stay with family over spring break, at the beach and I brought these with me. They were gone the first day, and it wasn’t just the kids. They’re too adorable and delicious to resist.
