BISCUITS
* Cream 125g butter, 100g caster sugar and ½ tsp of vanilla extract together, 30 sec / sp 5
* Add one egg and mix 20 sec / sp 4
* Add 300g plain flour, 1tsp baking powder and 15g milk and mix sp 5 until combined. Then knead for 1 min.
* Take dough out of bowl and roll out between two sheets of Grease proof paper or Thermomat until dough is about 5mm thick. Refrigerate for half an hour (this will help the dough retain its shape in the oven)
* After half an hour take dough out and Cut with egg shaped cutter (see tip at the end for this)
* Cook in medium oven for 10 - 12 minutes. Let cool on cooling rack.
ICING
* While biscuits are cooling make icing.
* Put two egg whites in bowl with butterfly attachment 4 min / 50 deg so 3 then gradually add 300g icing sugar until all combined.
I use piping bag with size 2 nozzle attached or just use a zip lock back with a small cut in one corner. In this Easter decorating I divided the icing into four containers and coloured with americolour gel.
This icing will set firm and can be piped very easily.
Tip
Squash an egg ring in at the sides to make the perfect easter egg cookie cutter!

What oven temp ?
What temperature do you bake the biscuits?
These are my 2 year olds favourite biscuits! I made them Bow shaped but definetly doing the egg shaped ones for Easter! Great tip about the egg ring!
Excellent recipe - both the biscuits and the icing. The 6-7 year olds I had decorating the biscuits loved it. Thanks so much!
Great recipe! The dough was so easy to work with and I loved the icing too. I particularly liked how the biscuit itself wasn't too sweet. All the sweetness comes from the icing and decorations that you add. I am using this recipe to make Christmas trees. The kids love them.
yummy!!!
I absolutely love this recipe. Just made some for a baby shower but used blue icing and nice decorations and then also made some minions for my daughters daycare... Just used bright yellow icing and put a little aside to make black for outline if minion face and hair and white for the eyes... Sooo easy and kids just loved them
Yum, not too sweet. I haven't iced them yet, not sure I'll bother.
What speed do you put the egg whites on?
edit: these were amazing! very big hit with my family
