Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to 375° F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until dough forms.

2 Shape dough into 24 (1 1/2-inch) balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

3 Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

4 Frost cookies. Add coconut to a 1-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add 2 to 3 drops food color, shaking bag to blend color. 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 Sprinkle each cookie with coconut; top with 3 candy eggs.

For even baking, make sure cookies are of the same shape and size.
Any frosting can be used, but we preferred the fluffy white since it is very white in color.
