Easter Biscuits Recipe

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add in the beaten egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

If desired, divide the dough and add a few drops of food coloring to each portion for a festive touch.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1cm thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them onto the prepared baking tray.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.

Allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack before decorating with icing sugar, if desired.
