Easter Biscuits


These Easter bikkies (from www.taste.com.au) are quick, easy, yummy AND perfect for kids who love to "help"!  Get creative with your decorating - as you can see by the picture, I had a toddler as my assistant who was very keen with the sprinkles!  I made the egg shape by squeezing a round cutter, but another great variation is to just use milk arrowroot biscuits and have lots of fun decorating!  

Ingredients
150g butter, cubed, chilled
300g (2 cups) plain flour, sifted
110g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg, lightly whisked
100g white chocolate, melted
Sprinkles and lollies, to decorate

Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Rub butter into flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. 

Stir in the sugar, vanilla and egg. Press mixture together to form a dough. Roll dough out to 5mm thickness and cut out bunny shapes. 

Place on a lined baking tray and bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. 

Spread with the melted chocolate and decorate.
