Easter is such an amazing holiday! A family tradition my family does is to have an Easter Dinner every year with dessert! There are some cute desserts to bake and make you Easter Egg-tastic.
A great dessert that is egg-cellent to put on the table is carrot cake muffins. Not everyone is a fan of carrot cake but it is like the pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. You have to have carrot cake or muffins on your dessert table at Easter. This is a mixture of coffee cake and carrot cake that has a lot of moisture and a rich buttery flavor. The ingredients needed are 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose four, 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, 2 large eggs, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 1/3 cup finely grated fresh carrot. (about four large carrots). For the icing you need 1 tbsp. unsalted butter (softened), 2 oz. cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, and 1 tbsp. of milk.

For the final dessert to put on your table for Easter is Lemon Crinkle Cookies. These Lemon Cookies could light up your day in seconds(Not kidding). These cookies have a bright yellow color to them that makes your Easter feel bright. The ingredients that you will need are 2 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp. ground turmeric, 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, 1 cup granulated sugar (divided), 2 tbsp. lemon zest, 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened), 1 large egg (room temperature), 1 large egg yolk (room temperature), 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp, vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar.
