Ingredients:
For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
For the icing and decorations:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- Food coloring (various colors)
- Sprinkles
- Colored sugar
- Chocolate chips
- Assorted candies
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm). Help the children use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough. Place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the second portion of dough until all the biscuits are baked and cooled.
- In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and milk to make the icing. Start with 2 tablespoons of milk and add more if needed to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Divide the icing into smaller bowls and add food coloring to create different colors. Let the children have fun mixing and experimenting with the colors.
- Help the children spread the icing on the cooled biscuits using a butter knife or small spatula. Encourage them to get creative and decorate the biscuits with sprinkles, colored sugar, chocolate chips, and assorted candies.
- Allow the icing to set completely before serving or packaging the biscuits.
Enjoy these beautifully decorated biscuits with your children! It’s a great activity to stimulate their creativity and create delicious treats that everyone will enjoy.
