These adorable Bunny Cookie Cups look bakery-level cute but come together with just 4 ingredients using premade sugar cookie dough. This easy Easter dessert turns into the sweetest bunny cookies with a creamy center and pastel M&M’s.

A person holds a round marble tray with 19 cookies topped with pastel-colored candy decorations shaped like bunny paw prints. The tray is on a striped yellow and white cloth over a wooden board.

You know how our M&M Easter Bunny Mini Pretzels completely took off on the internet?

The ones that became the hit Easter treat a few years back?

Well… these Easter Bunny Cookie Cups are their soft, creamy cousin… but actually even BETTER!

Same adorable M&M bunny ears & faces! Same pastel M&M dessert fun! But this time… baked into sugar cookie cups with a delicious creamy white chocolate center.

And honestly? The moment I finished the first batch, I 99.9% knew these were going to be another Easter dessert favorite.

A bag of Pillsbury sugar cookie dough is on a wooden board with a red-and-white checkered towel, surrounded by pastel chocolate candies, white chocolate wafers, and a bowl of milk near a muffin pan.

Because at this point… I’ve tried everything when it comes to making M&M bunny Easter desserts.

I’ve even pressed M&M’s into regular Easter cookies before and learned the hard way that the chocolate melts if you bake them in.

I even shared some behind-the-scenes testing in last year’s blog post because I was determined to make bunny cookies that actually worked.

And this? This is the Easter bunny cookie method that wins.

The Cutest Easter Cookies (Without the Fuss)

If you loved our viral bunny pretzels, these give you that same look in cookie form.

Think:

Soft sugar cookie cups
Creamy white chocolate centers
Sweet little pastel M&M bunny faces

They’re basically Easter bunny cookies… but easier.

No rolling
No cutting
No decorating skills required

Just one of those easy Easter desserts that feels special without being complicated. I mean, seriously, I’m even using premade grocery store cookie dough! No baking from scratch needed.

A person uses a piping bag to fill hollowed-out cupcake bites arranged on a wooden board; a muffin tin is visible nearby.

After testing so many versions, here’s what I learned:

If you bake M&M’s directly into sugar cookies… the chocolate melts

If you add the M&M’s after baking… they slide right off

But filling the baked cookie cups with a white chocolate creamy center first gives the bunny faces something to sit in.

So you still get the look of bunny cookies… without ruining the candy.

And did I mention how delicious these turned out?! They’re chewy, slightly crunchy with a delicious melt-in-your-mouth creamy white chocolate base made with heavy cream, topped with just 3 little M&M’s!

Six small piles of colorful candy-coated chocolates are arranged on parchment paper, with a bowl of mixed candies in the center. Nearby are a bowl of white chocolate wafers and a cup of liquid on a pink-checked cloth.
