Jelly Bean Cookies

Sharing is caring!

 
 
 

Soft and chewy sugar cookies with chewy jelly beans baked into the cookies. Since jelly beans are a classic Easter themed candy, these chewy cookies are perfect for baking during the Easter holiday. They are made similar to a classic sugar cookie dough, except with the addition of jelly beans mixed into the cookie dough.
The dough for these cookies is prepared just like a classic soft and chewy sugar cookie dough. Except that jelly beans are folded into the dough. Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour before baking, so that the cookies will not spread out too much in the oven. After the cookie dough has chilled, roll the dough into balls and place 2-inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
