Easter Chick Biscuits

Ingredients

• 200g plain flour

• 150g soft butter

• 3 tbsp Caster sugar

For Decorating

• 50g icing sugar

• 50g cream cheese

• Dessicated coconut

• A drop of yellow food colouring

• Choc chips

• Dried apricot, chopped into triangles (or orange fondant)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180c

2. Ask your little ones to cream the pre-weighed sugar and butter together in a bowl. Add the flour and mix thoroughly. Use your hands to squish into a ball. Wrap in clingfilm and pop into the fridge for 20 minutes.

3. Ask your helpers to sprinkle flour on the work surface and roll out the dough. Use round cookie cutters to create the biscuits. Place on a greased baking tin and bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown. Let them cool completely before decorating.

To Make The Buttercream

1. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl and mix with the cream cheese.

2. In a separate bowl, add a few splashes of food colouring to the desiccated coconut.

3. Let little ones enjoy spooning the icing onto the biscuits, then sprinkling the desiccated coconut over the top.

4. Let them stick on the chocolate chip eyes and orange beaks.
