These Easter bunny biscuits are wonderfully simple for children to help make, as well as being really delicious.
They would make great Easter gifts and perfect for spring-themed birthday parties!
Before you start, here's a Spring-themed bookmark to download and print out which children can colour in whilst they wait for the biscuits to bake!
SPRING-THEMED BOOKMARK TO COLOUR IN
Ingredients: (makes about 22 biscuits)
- 250g unsalted butter, softened
- 150g caster sugar
- 1 medium egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 375g plain flour
- 4 tablespoons of icing sugar
- chocolate drops and mini marshmallows, to decorate
Method:
- Put the butter, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
- Mix everything together well using a wooden spoon or handheld mixer.
- Add the flour. Bring the mixture together with your hands. Knead it to make a smooth, firm dough.
- Wrap in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 190⁰C/Gas Mark 5. Grease & line 2 baking trays.
- Sprinkle a clean work surface with a little icing sugar and roll out the chilled pastry to a thickness of 0.5cm. Cut out the biscuit shapes with a cutter.
- Place the biscuits onto the baking trays and bake for 6-7 minutes or till lightly golden.
- Leave to cool on the baking trays for a few seconds before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The biscuits will harden as they cool.
- Mix 4 tablespoons of icing sugar with a few drops of water to form a thick icing.
- Use the icing to stick on chocolate drops for the eyes and mini marshmallows for bunny tails.
Hope you enjoy these Easter bunny biscuits!
