Rain Or Shine, I Count On These Cookies To Get Me Into The Spring Spirit
27 Best Spring Cookies PARKER FEIERBACH
If the spring forward left you feeling a little behind, make one of these colorful sweet treats to get you through rainy spring days. Spring is all about celebrating brighter days and flavors after a dreary winter, like lemon-blueberry or strawberry in all its cookie forms—palmiers and shortcake included. Or, reimagine classic spring desserts, like cannoli and carrot cake, in cookie form. Presenting: cannoli cookies and carrot cake cookies.
Leftover Easter candy? Not a problem we tend to have, but here are some solutions: bird's nest cookies to house extra Robin Eggs, M&M cookie bars for chocolate, and our stained glass cookies for any leftover hard candy. Better yet, retire the old Easter basket for our Twix cookies, our Peeps Kiss cookies, or our bunny pawprint cookies.
Take inspiration from a popular cookie chains with our copycat Crumbl sugar cookie and copycat Crumbl cookies & cream cookies or lean into nostalgia with our PB&J cookies and our Lofthouse cookies. Not your style? Tone it down with our toasty tahini or amaretti cookies.
Celebrate spring in every section of the menu: Try out all of our favorite spring weeknight dinner recipes, spring cocktail ideas, and top spring salads too.
Lemon Shortbread CookiesIt doesn't get more classic and understated than shortbread, and here they have a hint of lemon to brighten up the classic melt-in-your-mouth buttery cookie. These start with a standard shortbread dough but have a little extra richness thanks to an egg yolk. Sanding sugar or sprinkles (or both!) add a satisfying, sweet crunch.

Puff pastry is rolled in a generous amount of granulated sugar, sprinkled with freeze-dried strawberry powder, and dipped in white chocolate. The result is flaky, jam-filled bites that will outshine any store-bought cookies.

Cherry Bakewell CookiesA Bakewell tart is a classic British dessert that's defined by a crumbly shortcrust pastry, a layer of sweet jam, and plenty of velvety almond frangipane. Making frangipane is pretty similar to making cookie dough, so a Bakewell tart seemed like a natural candidate for cookie-fication.

Sugar Cookie BarsThe easiest way to make sugar cookies for a crowd is to turn them into bars. Somewhere between a blondie and cookie, these sugar cookie bars are thick and soft with buttercream spread on top. They take less time than scooping individual cookies and are just as good.

Amaretti CookiesIf you like French macarons, you might like this take on Italian amaretti cookies. They're soft, pillowy, moist, sweet, and lightly scented with amaretto liqueur as well as citrus zests.
