Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg yolk and maple syrup until well combined.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
- Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Chilling the dough makes it easier to roll out.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch (about 0.6 cm) thickness.
- Use bunny-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Mix until you achieve a smooth, slightly thick icing. If the icing is too thick, add a bit more lemon juice; if it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- Once the biscuits are completely cool, use a small piping bag or a spoon to drizzle the icing over the biscuits. Get creative and decorate the bunnies to your liking!
- Allow the icing to set completely before serving. Enjoy your Easter Bunny Biscuits with family and friends!
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before you start to make it easier to cream with the sugar.
- For a truly smooth and well-incorporated dough, mix the ingredients thoroughly but avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out; this makes it easier to handle and cut into bunny shapes.
- Use cookie cutters to achieve a uniform shape and size for your biscuits.
- Allow the biscuits to cool completely before applying the icing to prevent it from melting and spreading too thinly.
- For a more intense lemon flavor in your icing, add a bit of lemon zest along with the juice.
Easter bunny biscuits are a charming and delicious way to celebrate the holiday. With their delightful blend of spices and the sweet-tart lemon icing, they are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike. Enjoy making and sharing these adorable biscuits, and may they add an extra bit of joy to your Easter festivities.
