EASTER COOKIE WREATH

Happy Easter!!  A treat the you can use as centerpiece and for dessert.  You can also customize with your Easter colors!!  Enjoy this Easter cookie wreath with its delicious royal icing!!  Have a wonderful Easter with your family!

It’s Easter!!  I have to tell you that my best memory of Easter is when doing egg hunt with my family when I was little.  My cousins would sleepover at our house.  I think sleepovers are what makes us so close to each other.  On Easter morning we would wake up and there would be chocolate milk waiting for us.  Then we’d have breakfast and then we all go out and have an Easter egg hunt!!  It was so much fun!!  And we don’t use plastic eggs, we use the real thing!!  I have to thank my Mother for this because it was hard work!!  Nowadays, I only go to the store and buy the plastic ones, put in candy and done!  So what’s your favorite Easter memory?  I’d love to hear it.

I would make the dough 2 days before Easter, which is today!  You will let it rest in the fridge overnight, bake it on Saturday morning, decorate on Saturday night and present it on Sunday!!  So go ahead and check the ingredients.  Let’s get baking!

After the dough is ready, prepare the sugar cookie dough and cut it into shape.  I just printed out an egg shape from the computer.  What’s great about it is you can cut it to whatever size you like.  If your table is big, you can make a bigger egg.  If your table is small, you can make a smaller egg.

Here comes the fun part!!   Prepare the royal icing and color them to the colors that you want to use.  Then put the in the bag and have fun!!  It’s a great activity to do with your kiddos for Easter!!

How cute is this wreath!!!  So easy and fun to make for the whole family!!

From my family to yours, Have a Happy and blessed Easter!!

Happy Baking!!

Instructions
Sugar Cookies
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a stand mixer bowl, beat the butter for about 1 minute. Add sugar and beat again until it becomes light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla until everything is combined. Don't forget to scrape the sides.
  3. Add the flour mixture into the bowl and mix until combined.
  4. Divide the dough into 3 balls. Put one ball onto a parchment sheet. Put another parchment sheet onto the ball. Roll out the ball into 1/4 inch thickness. Put on a baking sheet. Repeat the process with the rest of the dough. Stack the dough on top of each other. Refrigerate the dough for about 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Remove one of the dough from the refrigerator. Cut out the cookie and put it on the parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  7. Reshape the dough into a ball and repeat the steps on number 4.
  8. After the cookies are cooled, decorate with royal icing. Let dry for 3 hours. Check the top before stacking the cookies.
Royal Icing
  1. In a stand mixer bowl with a whisk attachment, mix all the ingredient together for about 5 minutes. The icing should form a ribbon when you lift up the head of the mixer. Add more water if you need it to be thinner. Add more powdered sugar if you need it to be thicker.
