Ingredients:
For the cookie dough
- 115 grams butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cup plain flour
- 1 Tablespoon lemon rind
- yellow food coloring
For the decorations
- cream cheese lemon frosting
- black and orange royal icing
sprinkles
Instructions:
1. Cream butter and sugar, then add lemon rind and egg until incorporated. Gradually add flour until dough forms, then a few drops of yellow food coloring, and mix until combined.
2. Refrigerate cookie dough for at least 30 minutes. When ready to bake, line baking tray with parchment paper, and pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out dough and cut into circles. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges begin to brown. Transfer onto wire rack to cool.
3. When the cookies have completely cooled, it’s time to decorate! Transfer frosting into a piping bag, and fill half the cookies, leaving the other half bare. Sandwich the bare cookies onto the filled ones, pushing the two halves together so the frosting reaches the edges of the cookies. This is important if you want to roll the edges of the sandwich cookies into sprinkles.
4. Roll the edges of the cookies into sprinkles. Lastly, pipe on the eyes of the chicks with black royal icing, and the beak and feet with orange royal icing.
