Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Easter
Serves: 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Colored frosting for decoration
- Edible markers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix the dough.
- Once the dough is ready, use your hands to form it into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Using an egg-shaped cookie cutter, cut out cookie shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, it's time to decorate! Use colored frosting to create fun designs on the cookies, mimicking the Angry Birds characters or Easter themes.
- After frosting, use edible markers to add details and expressions to your cookies, bringing your Angry Birds Easter Eggs to life!
- Allow the decorated cookies to set for a few minutes before serving or storing them in an airtight container.
Tips
- Chill the dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and maintain the egg shape during baking
