Check out these hot chicks! I received a request for two dozen Easter cookies and I knew that at least half were going to little nieces and nephews so I used the egg cutter to make these cute little chicks that are just hatched! I used a stiff royal icing to make the "cracked" looking edges on the shells and alternated with pink shells/green dots and green shells/pink dots. The beaks are made with stiff orange royal icing using the leaf decorating tip so it stands out from the cookie. The eyes are tiny dots of bright blue royal icing. I brushed them all with some shiny pearl luster dust after they dried. Then they got bagged and tagged for delivery.
Two dozen "chicks" and "eggs" fit nicely into a colorful Easter basket that picks up the colors in the cookies. I filled it with Easter grass (the baskets and grass are on sale at Target for 75¢ and 25¢!) which helps cushion the cookies for a nice presentation and adds a little extra holiday touch for the recipent. Enjoy!
