Easter is a time for sweet treats, and nothing quite captures the spirit of the season like a batch of homemade Easter biscuits. These cookies are not only delicious but also fun to decorate, making them a perfect activity for the whole family. Here's a recipe and some decorating ideas to get you started:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt.
Add the softened butter and mix until the dough is crumbly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract.
Add the egg mixture to the dough and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch thick.
Use Easter-themed cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Let the cookies cool completely before decorating.
Decorating Ideas:
Icing: Mix powdered sugar with a little bit of water to create a thick icing. Use a piping bag to decorate the cookies with the icing, drawing designs such as flowers, Easter eggs, or bunnies.
Sprinkles: Dip the cookies into a bowl of colorful sprinkles or place them on a plate and sprinkle them with edible glitter for a sparkly effect.
Chocolate: Melt some chocolate and dip half of each cookie into it. Allow the chocolate to harden and then decorate with icing or sprinkles.
Royal Icing: Make a stiff royal icing by beating egg whites and powdered sugar together. Use a piping bag to draw intricate designs on the cookies.
With these simple decorating ideas, your Easter biscuits are sure to impress your guests and bring a smile to the faces of your family members. So gather your loved ones and get ready to create some delicious and adorable Easter treats!
