Make your family some sweet Easter cookies with tasty surprises inside! 



What You Need:




1 bag SNICKERS� Brand Minis for Easter 


2 cups flour


1 teaspoon baking soda


1/2 teaspoon salt


2 cups quick oats


1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened


1/2 cup brown sugar


1/2 cup sugar


2 eggs


1 cup vanilla frosting


Red, green, yellow and purple food coloring


Cookie sheet


Parchment paper


4 resealable plastic bags


What To Do:



1. 
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. 
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and oats; set aside. In a second bowl, cream the butter and both sugars until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Slowly add the flour-oat mixture, thoroughly mixing it into the batter. Divide the batter in half, wrap it in plastic, and chill for an hour.

3. 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

4. 
To make each cookie, scoop off a generous tablespoon of the dough. Flatten it slightly, and place an unwrapped SNICKERS� Brand Mini for Easter in the center of each piece of dough, wrapping the dough completely around. Shape the cookie in the palm of your hand, molding it to resemble an oval. Transfer the cookies to a cookie sheet. 

5. 
Bake until golden brown (about 15-17 minutes). Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.

6. 
Divide the frosting into quarters, and tint each a pastel color. Spoon the frostings into resealable plastic bags. Cut a tiny, pinprick snip from the corner of the bags for a thin drizzle. Heat each bag for 5 seconds in the microwave until the frosting softens slightly. Then, drizzle frosting on top of the cookies in a decorative pattern.

Makes 28 eggs
