Cookies and Cream Cookies (Spring Edition)
I always love seeing the fun and festive holiday cookies in the grocery store bakery. It inspires me to bake for every holiday! The sugar cookies are one of my favorites. While this recipe contains brown sugar, it still gives a delicious sugar cookie taste especially with the Hershey’s cookies and cream pieces. It’s spring – so of course, I gravitated to the fun easter egg Hershey’s cookies and cream candies.
Playing off the pastel colors in the candy, I added some festive Easter sprinkles which contributes to that light, sugary taste and makes them that more fun. Any sprinkles of your choosing will work!
Ingredients
This recipe is a pretty straightforward and traditional cookie recipe – made more interesting by the spring-y additions.

- Light brown sugar
- White granulated sugar

Can’t Find Cookies and Cream Eggs?
It can be hard to find the specialty holiday candy! These Spring Cookies and Cream cookies will work perfect with traditional Hershey’s cookies and cream candy bars. You will just be missing the pastel colors in the candy and the sprinkles will compensate for that!
How to Make the Cookies Ahead of Time
One of my favorite tips that I use ALL the time is storing raw cookie dough in formed dough balls in the freezer! Take out 2 or 3 or the whole batch, let them defrost for about 20-30 minutes and bake as normal. You’d have no idea they were ever in the freezer and taste just like a fresh batch you make and stick in the oven right away.
Perfect for popping in the oven when you have guests over or to prep prior to an event to save you the last minute headaches.
How to Store the Cookies
I store these in an air tight container on the counter. Some cookies naturally lose a bit of their tenderness over a few days. You can stick a slice of bread in the container to help keep them soft. Overbaking also helps to avoid this issue.
Read above on preparing when you’re ready to eat them so they are always nice and fresh!
