Preheat oven to 375.

Mix cookie mix according to the package if you are using packaged sugar cookie mix or make the homemade sugar cookie dough.

Roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick and then use carrot cookie cutter to cut them out.

Bake for 8-10 minutes and then allow the cookies to cool completely.

While the cookies are cooling get your icing ready. If you are using store bought icing you will need 1 container of icing. If you are using royal icing you will need 1 batch and if you are using homemade buttercream you will need 1 batch.

Color the frosting you are using with a few drops of green food coloring.

Spread or pipe the frosting on top of the cookies. Use a fork to "pull" the frosting if you want a dimensional look to your cookies.

Add the M&Ms on top, you can also use Easter candy eggs if you want to instead of M&Ms.
