I had a hard time narrowing down these choices when it comes to spring flavors, colors, and decorations. There is just something so magical about this time of year. It feels like capturing it in a cookie is the perfect way to celebrate the season.

It’s a time where plants are just starting to grow, flowers beginning to bloom. If you’re like my husband, you’re probably starting to work on the garden, or at least spend more time outdoors. Why not munch on a tasty treat that reflects this wonderful time of year.

Fruity Flavored Spring Cookies

There aren’t too many fruits that are ripe in the spring, and yet we associate this time with a few different flavors. Lemon and other citrus lingers over from its peak season of winter. Strawberries are just starting to show up, ripe and ready. And other delicate flavors like berries and tropical fruits find their place here as well.

Floral and Herbal Spring Cookies

Now we are getting into what’s fresh in the garden in the next few weeks. Herbs and flowers tend to be ready before fruits, and they are often underrated flavors in sweets like cookies. The most prominent of these is lavender, which also offers up a lovely shade of purple, but there are plenty of other pretty and flavorful plants just waiting to be mixed up in some dough.

Decorated and Colorful Spring Cookies

In addition to the flavors of the season, spring is also known for a very specific look: delicate colors, like pastels and warm neutrals, start appearing everywhere from store windows to the garden blooms. Flowers and baby animals are popping up all over the place, and the April showers give everything a magical glow. Whether you are more into the colors or the motifs, there’s a perfect cookie for you.
