Easter Basket Cookies










** Recipe from Better at Home **


* 1 pouch (1 lb. 1.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
* 1 Tbl. all-purpose flour
* 1/3 c. butter or margarine, softened
* 1 egg
* 1 bottle (2.25 oz) pink or blue colored sugar
* 1 container (12 oz) whipped fluffy white frosting
* 2 c. flaked coconut
* food colors
* assorted jelly beans
* pipe cleaners
* 1/4-inch pastel ribbon (if desired)

Heat oven to 375° F. Grease or spray 32 miniature muffin cups. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, butter and egg until dough forms.  Roll dough into 32 (1 1/4-inch) balls; roll in colored sugar. Place balls in muffin cups.  Bake 12-15 min. or until set & edges are light golden brown.  Cool in pan 10 min. then remove to cooling racks.  Add coconut to a 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add 3 to 4 drops food color and shake until well blended. It may be necessary to add 1 to 2 teaspoons water to help disperse the color evenly or additional food color until desired color is reached.  Frost top of each cookie. Decorate with colored coconut and jelly beans. Tie a small ribbon bow on 5-inch piece of pipe cleaner; insert into each basket for handle.
