Baking around the holidays is challenging, since there is so much to do. The cleaning, decorating and baking all needs to get done. Sometimes I like to get a little help from Pillsbury Bunny and Chick shape cookies, then add my own personal touch to make them more homemade. With a little chocolate and a few sprinkles, these cute bunny and chick shape cookies can turn into a treasured masterpiece.

Ingredients for Bunny and Chick Cookie Basket

1 package Bunny Shape Pillsbury cookies
1 package Chick Shape Pillsbury cookies
1 package dark chocolate chips
1 package white chocolate chips
Rainbow sprinkles
Chocolate Sprinkles
Coconut

Supplies Needed

Wooden skewers or lollipop sticks (3 different size heights)
Washi tape
Basket
Foam
Green Easter grass

Directions for Bunny and Chick Cookie Basket

Start by baking the cookies according to the package directions from Pillsbury. For added decoration dip the cookies in white sugar sprinkles before they are baked.

While the cookies are baking, start melting the chocolates separately using a double broiler.

After the cookies come out of the oven, and they are still soft, carefully place sticks for decorating.

Now the fun begins. Dip the cookies in the chocolate then in the sprinkles. Use chocolate sprinkles with the dark chocolate dipped cookies and white chocolate for the rainbow sprinkles to really make the colors pop.

To make bunny tails, dip the cookie in white chocolate then in coconut. These cookies look just like bunny tails.

To add a little more color to the basket, wrap the sticks with different colored washi tape of your choice.

Now all the cookies are decorated, and some not decorated since they are so cute, it is time to assemble the basket.

Arrange the basket with various heights of cookies, placing the tallest in the back.
