These Easter chick cookies are fun to make and delicious to eat. They are perfect for celebrating the season. Using my vanilla sugar cookie recipe and sugar icing, they are a beautiful yellow color.
Make the dough – In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, almond or rose extract, then mix in the flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Wrap and chill until firm.
226 g Unsalted butter, 125 g Powdered sugar, 1 large Egg, 315 g All-purpose flour, 1 tbsp Cornstarch, ½ tsp Kosher salt, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Roll and Cut – Divide the dough into two portions. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut into chick shapes using cookie cutters.
Bake – Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray. Chill the tray for 10–15 minutes (recommended for clean edges). Bake at 350°F / 175°C for 8–10 minutes until just set.
