Ingredients

• 16 oz Sugar cookie dough
• 1 cup Shredded coconut
• 5 drops Green food coloring
• 36 pieces Mini chocolate eggs (e.g., candy-coated)
• 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Divide the sugar cookie dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and press it into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to form baskets.

Step 3

Bake the cookie baskets for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and use the back of a spoon to gently reshape the centers if they have puffed. Let them cool completely in the tin before removing.

Step 4

While the cookie baskets are cooling, prepare the 'grass': Place the shredded coconut in a zip-top bag or small bowl and add the green food coloring. Mix until the coconut is evenly colored.

Step 5

Once the cookie baskets are cool, remove them from the tin and fill each one with about a tablespoon of colored coconut.

Step 6

Nestle three mini chocolate eggs on top of the coconut 'grass' in each basket to complete the look.

Step 7

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
