Today, hubby was not home for lunch and i have less dish to prepare. Hence, i took the opportunity to make my pre-Easter day's cookies since Easter day is just about a week away. As i have only an hour in between before i catch up on my other house chores, i chosen this simple & quick recipe to work on.
I actually made the baking powder biscuits and use the cookies cutters to make the Easter themed related design like egg, hopping rabbit, bunny face and flower. I then decorated them with colourful sprinkles, M&Ms candy etc. My 1st Easter cookies are then done! Pretty simple, right?
When my 5yrs old came home from her pre-k class, she was excited to see the assorted design Easter cookies on the table waiting for her. She just can't wait to take a bite! :)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup soften butter
- 2/3 cup fresh milk
- Some melted butter (optional - to brush on the cookies)
Steps:
- Greased baking sheets and set aside
- Preheat the oven to 375F/180C
- Place flour, baking powder, salt and butter in a mixer bowl
- Stir to mix for about 1min (i use KitchenAid stand mixer to stir it)
- Scrap the side of the bowl, then add the milk
- Continue to stir till all the ingredients well mix-in and start to cling together to form a dough
- Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead about 20 seconds, or until smooth
- Pat or roll to 1/2" thickness (i use a rolling pin to roll it)
- Cut with floured cutters (any design that you like)
- Place on greased baking sheets, brush with melted butter and decorate accrodingly
- Bake for 12-15min (watch out so as not to over bake)
- Serve immediately (plain, with butter/honey/favorite jams) and it's superb!
Happy Easter to all! :)
