How to Make an Easter Egg Cookie Cutter
Easter egg cookies are fun to decorate and even more fun to eat than real Easter eggs. You can buy an Easter egg cookie cutter, but it's easy to make one yourself and recycle a can you might otherwise throw away. Make these cookies from a basic sugar cookie dough and tuck them into Easter baskets or display on a holiday buffet table. For a surprising twist, flavor the dough with lemon or orange extract or ginger. Decorate with royal frosting, colored sugar or candy.

File off the rough edges of your tuna can cookie cutter with a metal file.
