FYI: I am slowly working my way to only posting 3 time a week…on Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays. There will be the odd guest post or blog hop on other days of the week; but, hopefully, this will enable me to visit more of my blogger friends and keep up with the laundry!!!
And more gratefulness for some lovely blog awards that arrived while I was on holiday…please check out all their excellent blogs:
Allison, a fellow Dorista and all around sweetheart, of The French Whisk, presented me with The Versatile Blogger Award as did sweet Heidi of Young Grasshopper. Thank you, both!!!
My talented friend, Sophie, of The German Foodie, passed along the Kreativ Blogger Award. Make sure to stop by her fabulous blog while you’re surfing~
Dearest Anna, of Crunchy Creamy Sweet, awarded me with The Happy Blogger Award and The 7 Link Award! Here’s a link to my previous 7 Link Post…a chance to see some of my OLD posts~

Congrats on that well-deserved awards , Lizzy ! That cookies looks gorgeous ! I just love the colorful candy pieces ! Hopefully , I can find some of that white chocolate M&M’s here ;D I wish ! tsk tsk hahaha
Browned butter does improve the flavor of most anything. I have yet to see the white M&M’s, but I’ll keep searching. These look delicious!
I don’t have an award to give you other to say that I think you are amazing! You consistently have awesome posts and your kind comments just make my day. Thanks Lizzy for giving class to the blogging community. I’m so happy to call you my friend.
Congrats on all your awards. You rock!
So that easter bunny cookie canister is freaking adorable. And I’m loving your cookies! I actually bookmarked brown sugar cookies too and I was going to add easter pretzel m&ms. How crazy is that? Great minds think alike
Lizzy your Easter bunny is adorable and the cookies too!!!!! have a nice day!
These look fantastic – and what a cute cookie jar! I so wish I could get my hands on those Easter M&Ms. But then again, I’d probably end up eating them all instead of baking with them!
Congratulations on all of the awards!
I love cooking something for Easter, they look simple and so tasty!! Thank you darling!!
Perfect cookies to fill that adorable jar with!
Congrats on your well-deserved awards!
And these cookies seem like a fabulous way to celebrate!
Sunny, colorful and cute! Really great cookies for Easter!
Wow, you could plaster a wall with those awards! I am convinced that holiday m&ms are way better than the regular ones, I can’t resist those cookies!
Lizzy these cookies are perfect for Easter!! What a cute bunny jar.
I can understand you trying to scale back the blog posts… I hope to get there someday soon so my laundry can be done too. LOL!!
PS… Congrats on all the awards!! Yay!!
Lizzy,
Congratulations on all of your well deserved awards. I love everything you make, and your photos are always gorgeous! These cookies sound so good, and a small recipe is better for 2 people:) I hear you about the laundry!!!
Your Easter cookies look perfect – browned butter is something I use on such things as corn, mashed potatoes, and popcorn etc. but have never used it in cookies – that would surely give them a unique flavour. What a great idea! Congrats on your well-deserved awards. I love your classy blog and love your kind comments. Totally hear you about getting the laundry done……..have a wonderful passion week.
Browned butter belongs in cookies. Super awards that you deserve…congrats sweet lady. Have to bake these this weekend for the kids;)
Liz, I always enjoy seeing how you style your food. Everything looks so wonderful. Congrats on all of the awards.
Carol xo
Hahaha! U’re so cute! I’d be so lost as I can’t bake for nuts. Lol! These cookies are so colourful & gonna drive kids crazy.
Congrats on your awards, dear! Happy blogging! xoxo, Shirley
I’ll take 10 please?! How cute is that cookie jar!! Congrats on all your well deserved awards Lizzy
I’ve heard of these white chocolate M&Ms & I’m yet to see them!! As soon as I do I’m pucking some up and making these delicious cookies! They look incredible, love the brown butter!
Congrats on your awards! And on making a lovely cookie! I totally want to make these with my sister’s kids this weekend!
Congrats, Lizzy!!
White chocolate M & M’s – wow!
Perfect Easter Cookies. Gosh, that time already. I’ll have to think of something this week.
Have a wonderful day, my friend. ((HUGS))
Browned butter always gives such an awesome flavor to cookies. I love that you had to make cookies right away for your new jar:-) I would have too!!!
The bunny is really cute but it would be too dangerous to have it in my kitchen. I would keep on filling it and… emptying it. The cookies look beautiful with the m&ms inside. You have chosen the perfect Easter colours. I can well believe they were delicious.
Congratulations for all these awards!
Congratulations on your awards, Lizzy! All so well deserved! I love brown butter anything so I am really excited about this recipe

Now those cookies may not make it until Easter. I’ve become very fond of Brown Butter anything!!!
Thanks so much for sharing…
I have managed to get down to a basic 3 day a week posting schedule, too. Even then, though, I am having a hard time keeping up with comments.
Your cookies look to die for. I have made that recipe and the aroma alone is enough to bring the gang running!
Lizzy, congratulations on your awards! They are well-deserved. And those cookies look delicious–a perfect use for pastel m&ms.
Congrats on all the awards Lizzy, it is definitely the season! These cookies look like just the think I want in my Easter basket this year-yum! Ha-after seeing that open cookie jar, I realize exactly what you meant when you said huge. The bigger the better as far as I am concerned!
Congrats on all the awards!!
These cookies look wonderful. Great use of the M&M’s!

Sorry i’m just now getting here to comment, sweet Lizzy! That bunny is really cute…I wanted to enter my own contest to win him

Lizzy,
I need to find that mm. Love these cookies.
Lizzy, that bunny is soo cute, i’ve been staring at it and smiling for the last minute or so.
You are all in Easter celebration, collecting all awards in your basket, Congratulations!
What a great award package and, of course, great new awards. But much more importantly – WHITE CHOCOLATE M&M’S???
when I first heard about those white chocolate m&ms I had to run out and buy them immediately. My fiance loves white chocolate. Of course, he ate all of them before I had a chance to bake with them. I’ll have to buy another bag and make these cookies. They sound delicious.
Perfect looking Easter cookies! And congrats on all the awards!
Your easter bunny and cookies are both adorable.
Congratulations on your awards Liz!
Congrats on all the well deserved award!
The cookies look lovely. I am definitely going to make these for my daughter. Thanks for sharing
Very nice cookies…perfect for this season!!
So yummy! Is there anything better than Brown butter? Love the photos, they are all just so cute!
Congrat to you on all the awards, well deserved. Cookies sound yummy and that cookie jar is adorable.
Congrats on all the blog award Lizzy. I am admiring these cookies you made and as well as the bunny too.
Makes me want to just reach into the screen and grab one!

Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm. Gorgeous cookies…browned butter is da bomb!
First off – those photos. Are so f-ing adorable. I can’t stand it. What a perfect Easter set up. Second, I didn’t even know that white chocolate M&Ms existed? Probably just an American thing (we never get anything yummy up here
). Third, you had me sold at browned butter. Aw yeah.
Congrats on all those awards, Lizzy! you deserve every one of them
and these cookies are so perfect! I adore brown butter, and these would make me really happy! Thanks for sharing this 
Love the easter cookies and THAT cookie jar! Once I start baking more cookies often – frequent enough I want to buy me a cute jar like yours (maybe not Easter but all year around).
Congrats on the awards Lizzy!
I didn’t know there were White Chocolate M&M’s, OMG!!! That has to be one of the greatest inventions since Spanx. Which I just may need after making these. These cookies look so tempting Liz and I can’t wait to get in on the browned butter craze. Lovely pics!
You are very welcome. They are very deserved! I am totally making these cookies for our Easter party at the grandparents house. The kids will LOVE them!
Congrats on your awards sweetie, and these are just adorable for Easter/Spring
What a cute cookie jar and cute cookies to match!! Congratulations on your awards!
Wow – bravo on your awards and your winning streak with the bunny dispenser. Great idea to just fill it with these treats, Lizzy. Glad to hear you’re human too. Don’t know how on earth you manage to blog so much and keep on top of things. Lizzy also does laundry! Will be thinking of you when lugging that basket today. You rock. Cheers to you, my friend. J xo
