Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C/170 degrees C fan and line 2-3 trays with parchment paper.
- Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla, and mix.
- Add the flour, cornflour, bicarbonate of soda, and salt; mix again.
- Mix through the crushed mini eggs if using.
- Portion the cookies using a 5cm scoop to make 12-14 cookies.
- Optional: chill the cookies for an hour for a less spread texture.
Baking
- Bake for 11-12 minutes and then leave to cool fully.
Frosting
- For the frosting, beat the butter until smooth, then add the icing sugar and mix.
- Add the vanilla and food colouring; mix again.
- Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cookies and decorate with mini eggs.
Notes
Serve slightly cool, when the frosting has set but the cookie beneath still carries a whisper of warmth. Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
