Homemade Easter egg cookies are perfect, crispy treats filled with chocolate cream. Prepare delicious snacks for Easter and decorate them with the youngest members of the family!
Ingredients:
- All-purpose flour – 2 cups
- Egg yolks – 2
- Powdered sugar – 1/2 cup
- Baking powder – 1 level teaspoon
- Butter – 150 g
- Chocolate hazelnut cream – 100 g
- Dark chocolate – 50 g
- Colored sugar sprinkles – 4 tablespoons
Instructions:
Step 1: Knead the Dough In a bowl, place the flour, baking powder, powdered sugar, and room temperature butter. Knead all the ingredients until a smooth dough forms, and shape it into an even number of small balls.
Step 2: Cut Out the Cookies Roll the dough balls to a thickness of about 0.5 cm and use a cookie cutter (or a small, sharp knife) to cut out egg shapes.
Step 3: Bake the Cookies Transfer the prepared cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them for about 15-18 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C. Allow the baked cookies to cool.
Step 4: Assemble and Decorate the Cookies Spread chocolate cream on one side of the cookies and sandwich them together. Then, using a toothpick, draw any patterns on the cookies with melted chocolate and sprinkle them with colored sugar sprinkles.
