How sweet are these Delamere Spiced Easter Biscuits?
We love making and baking yummy biscuits and cookies here. Last week we make a cookie jar full of decorated biscuits. My daughter really enjoyed making them and keeps asking "when can we make some more!?" She enjoyed decorating the biscuits the most.
How much fun are these Easter biscuits?
Today I am sharing these fun biscuits, perfect for trying out now and making for Easter. You will need some Easter themed cookie cutters. Maybe rabbits, eggs, ducks, lambs or Spring flowers. Also, a few different flavoured icing sugars to complete the look when the biscuits have cooled.
Who can resist a pink icing-covered Easter bunny biscuit? Perfect for little hands to practice their baking skills too!
