This Easter Funfetti Cookie Cake is just LOADED with goodies!!
Easter Funfetti Cookie Cake
Cookie cakes are a sweet substitute for a traditional layered party cake (and a lot easier to make!)
We jazzed up this funfetti cookie cake with lots of special add-ins just for Easter: pastel M&Ms, Easter sprinkles, and Cadbury mini chocolate eggs (one of my favorite Easter treats).
So pretty!! (And I must say that it tastes just as fantastic as it looks!)
This colorful cookie cake is perfect for birthdays too — simply swap out the Cadbury eggs for your favorite candy.
I adore funfetti recipes (like this funfetti cheesecake we made a while back), and see no reason not to enjoy them year-round!
Hope you love it as much as I do!
