Green Eggs and Ham Cookies

Dr. Seuss’ birthday is March 2nd. Our family’s absolute favorite Dr. Seuss book is Green Eggs and Ham. Recently we read this favorite book of ours after dinner and had a fun dessert to go along with it – Green Eggs and Ham cookies.

I saw a picture of these cookies on Pinterest and thought they were super cute. They are very simple to make. Just make your favorite cut-out cookie recipe (see below for our recipe) and cut them out in a fried egg shape. I just simply rolled out the dough and used a knife to cut the different egg shapes.

Then after you bake and let them cool, frost them with your favorite (white) frosting recipe. Finish them by topping with a green candy melt, like the ones pictured below (I bought ours at Walmart).
