Are These Iced Easter Egg Cookies?
Not really. Traditionally, icing is glossy and usually used on cakes, but when applied to cookies (royal icing), it hardens. We used icing sugar to create our homemade buttercream frosting that we frosted the easter egg cookies with, and then used fondant for the chick decorations.

How to Make Chick Egg Cookies
Prepare the sugar cookie dough according to the directions on the packaging of favorite sugar cookie mix or your favorite sugar cookies recipe.
Roll out the sugar cookie dough so that it’s about ¼ of an inch thick. Cut out 24 egg-shapes using an egg-shaped cookie cutter.
Bake according to recipe’s or box’s directions and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating. Baked goods must be fully cooled before decorating or the decorations will melt or slide off.
To make your homemade buttercream frosting for this recipe, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened butter, icing sugar, and milk. Once the ingredients are well-combined and smooth, add in your blue gel food coloring and mix until completely tinted.
Once your blue buttercream frosting is ready, use an offset spatula to frost each cookie carefully.
Roll out your yellow fondant onto a Wilton decorating mat so that the fondant is about ¼ of an inch thick. Use a 1-inch circular cookie cutter or the bottom of a large icing tip to cut out 36 circles.
Cut 12 of your fondant circles in half.
Place one fondant circle and a half circle towards the top of your frosted cookie as shown.
Roll out 24 small spheres from your orange fondant. Flatten each one and form a point at one end of it to create the chick’s beak on his face. Press one beak in the center of your chick’s head.
Roll out your white fondant so that’s about ¼ of an inch thick. Cut 24 egg shapes with the same egg-shaped cookie cutter you used to cut the cookies.
Trim the top of each fondant egg with a paring knife.
Cut into the edges of the white fondant in triangular shapes to appear “cracked” and then place one on top of each cookie.
Serve and enjoy these adorable Easter treats!
