Easter Chick Cookies

Here we are, a week before Easter and decided to make some cookies that looked like little chicks.  Since chicks are yellow, it only makes sense to make the cookies lemon flavored.  Here is my recipe for Super Easy Lemon Crisp Cookies which you make from a lemon cake mix and for this project, use the regular yellow lemon cake mix.  Helpful hint for this project, is to make sure your lemon cake mix is the 18 oz. size and not the 14 oz. size.  Cake mix manufacturers have decreased the size of some of their cake mixes, and in this case, "size DOES matter".

You will also need:
mini chocolate chips
orange colored candy coated sunflower seeds (comes multicolored, just separate orange)
yellow sanding sugar
yellow food gel (or regular yellow food coloring)
 
After the cookie dough is made, press the cookies as directed and place two mini chocolate chips (point down) into the cookie dough and one orange sunflower seed just below the two eyes for the beak.
 
Bake as directed.
 
Cook and cool all of the cookies.  Prepare glaze as directed and add yellow food coloring to match the color of the cookies.  Place the glaze into a plastic baggie and clip a small opening on one corner to pipe out onto the cookies.
 
Place sanding sugar into a shallow bowl.  Set aside.
 
Working with one cookie at a time, pipe out small dots over the face of the cookie and immediately sprinkle the yellow sanding sugar over the cookie holding cookie over the sanding sugar bowl and shake off excess sugar.  Repeat until finished.

Mini chocolate chips, place point side down into the pressed cookie dough disks prior to baking.
Separate the orange colored candy coated sunflower seeds and press point side up into the pressed cookie dough disks for the beak prior to baking.
 

Working with one cookie at a time, pipe out dots with the glaze and sprinkle sanding sugar over cookie and gently shake off excess.

  3. These cookies look so cute. Although, I think that everybody knows that such beautiful cookies are usually not delicious. I hope that these ones will be worth cooking.

  13. https://www.buyyoutubesubscribers.in/2021/12/20/how-many-views-on-youtube-to-make-money/ An Email list is very important for every online business. Of course, when people subscribe to your channel, they automatically get updated with your new content. So you need another mechanism to capture people who visit your YouTube videos, and for that you need an email list. That's the other thing; you don't actually own your channel with YouTube, but you will own your email list once you've built it.

  14. https://dynamichealthstaff.com/nursing-jobs-in-qatar Many businesses are asking this question because they want an SEO or online marketing solution, but they don't know where to start. How much can a SEO consultant handle and when should you use a big company? As an SEO consultant (I know it may seem biased), some small businesses ask me this question so I would like to answer, "I can handle any campaign".

  25. As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from Lymes, I decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My husband suffered from Lymes and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and I saw testimony of so many people who were cured from Lymes , and so many others with similar body problems, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the herbal cure to Lymes. I never imagined Lymes had a cure not until I contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.Lymes has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua can cure Herpes,Hiv,Cancer,ALS,Copd,HPV,Lupus,MS,Diabetes, and other disease talk to Dr Itua on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony . https://drituaherbalcenter.com/shop/
