3D Easter Cookie

3D Easter Cookies

Inspiration: 3D easter card

While shopping, I came across some cute 3D Easter cards. I thought they would make attractive cookies, so that became my goal. For this post, I am not going into great detail about how to make roll out cookies, though a recipe for the cookies and glaze can be found here. Instead, I wanted to highlight the creative process.

I made the roll out cookies and then glazed with them according to the base colors I wanted.

Next, attach the chicken's wings with royal icing.

Next, outline the chicks and wings with the royal icing.

Add eyes and a beak.

 Then finish off with a bow.

Decorate the "broken" egg halves.

Next, pipe some green icing on the base cookie and insert the chick. Leave to dry.

Prop the back of the chick against something to hold it in place while it dries. I used my rectangle cookie cutters.

If so desired, use other Easter animals instead of the chicks.

Pipe some green icing and add the egg piece. Allow to dry again.

 Wrap in cellophane bags and enjoy!
