Confetti Cookies Inspired by Cascarones

Cascarones are a huge part of our Easter traditions here in South Texas. Much like American Easter eggs, cascarones are eggs that are dyed in vibrant colors and decorated in a variety of styles.

While American Easter eggs are boiled, cooled, decorated, and then eaten fully cooked, Cascarones are made using only the egg shells. It starts with a small hole at the top or bottom of the egg. The contents of the egg are emptied out and saved for later use. Then the egg shells are cleaned and ready for decorating!

The egg shells are often dipped in dye, much like American Easter eggs, but they may also be decorated with tissue paper, glitter and other embellishments. Sometimes the decorations are simple, and other times they are very elaborate, like the popular luchador cascarones.

Once dyed, the eggs are filled with colorful confetti and the holes are covered to keep the contents safely inside.

I remember making cascarones every Easter with my mami and chasing my cousins through the backyard to smash these brightly colored eggs on top of their heads. Each egg would explode with vibrant confetti and glitter, creating a huge mess for parents and a ton of fun for the kiddos!

If you love piñatas at birthday parties, you’ll love cascarones at Easter!

Baking Fun with the Familia & La Lechera

Ask your little ones to help you roll the cookie dough into balls and press them down slightly with a fork. Once flattened, the kiddos can add sprinkles or another favorite topping to their cookies.

If they really want to get creative, you can even help them add extra ingredients like white chocolate chips or nuts to the mixing bowl before the rolling begins. Feel free to customize this recipe with any extra ingredients as you see fit.
