How to make Easter cookies

We preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 180°C heat up and down and line the oven tray with baking paper.
Prepare the cookie dough

In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. Add the sugar, vanilla sugar, butter and egg and knead everything until you get a smooth dough.
We cool the dough

We form a ball with the dough, wrap it in transparent film and chill it in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once this time has passed, flour the work surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin.
We cut the cookies

We cut the cookies with the Easter cookie molds. We have made some Easter Eggs, Easter bunnies and lambs with these easter cookie cutters.
We bake the cookies

Place the cookies on the tray and place in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10 minutes at 180°.
We prepare the glaze

For the glaze, mix icing sugar with water or lemon juice until a thick glaze is obtained. You can color the white icing with a few drops of food coloring to make different colors (the less food coloring, the lighter or pastel the color will be).
We decorate the cookies

We brush the cookies with the icing and decorate to our liking, or to the taste of the children, who will have a great time decorating the cookies. We can decorate e.g. using pastry pencils of different colors to paint different motifs on the cookies or whatever comes to mind. We wait half an hour until the glaze has completely dried and we can now enjoy our precious easter cookies or wrap them and give them to our loved ones.
