This Easter, I’m getting extra creative and breaking out of my shell. Instead of bringing boring cookies, I’m adding some fun to the holiday treats by making little Easter chicks out of Nutterbutter Cookies. Make these cookies your own by adding extra icing or bows. The kids will have so much fun making these chicks their own.
Easter Chick Nutterbutter Cookies

Directions
- In a large bowl, pour both sanding sugars into it and mix until combined, set aside
- Using a double boiler, melt the yellow candy melts until smooth

- Dip the nutterbutter into the yellow candy melt.
- Using a fork carefully pick up the nutterbutter and tap the edge of the pot to get rid of excess chocolate
