Baking Directions For Easter Egg Cookies
Preheat the oven to gas mark 5 or 190C.
Grease two large baking sheets.
In a saucepan gently melt the butter over a low heat and then add the sugar and syrup until smooth. Set aside to cool.
Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and the ginger into a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the butter mixture and then add the beaten egg and the grated lemon rind. Mix together to form a dough.
Spread some flour onto a rolling surface and roll out the mixture.
Use as 7.5 cm round cutter to press out and form about 20 cookie biscuits.
Transfer the cut Easter cookies onto the baking sheets. For better effect form the top and bottom into an oval egg shape and use a skewer to push through a small hole for the ribbon decoration if going to be used.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes so that they turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool down.
Mix the icing sugar with the lemon juice to form a small mixture of icing that can be used to stick the smarties or similar chocolate sweets to the baked Easter egg cookies.
