We’ll show you how to decorate and Print Vintage Sugar Cookies shaped like eggs or bunnies with intricate patterns using edible paints or icing pens.

Step 1: The Perfect Cookie Canvas

To create stunning egg- or bunny-shaped cookies, start with a reliable sugar cookie recipe that holds its shape during baking. Our Easter Cookie Mold makes this process effortless, ensuring perfectly pressed designs every time.

Basic Sugar Cookie Recipe

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Gradually add dry ingredients until dough forms.

  3. Roll out dough on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness and use the Easter Cookie Mold to press your shapes. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  4. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely before decorating.

Step 2: Decorating Like a Pro

Once your cookies are baked and cooled, it’s time to transform them into edible masterpieces:

Tools You’ll Need:

  • Edible paints or gel food coloring diluted with vodka or lemon extract for watercolor effects

  • Fine-tipped icing pens for intricate details

  • Piping bags with royal icing in pastel colors for borders and patterns

Design Ideas:

  1. Vintage Floral Prints: Use edible paints to create soft floral patterns reminiscent of vintage Easter cards. Add delicate leaves and petals for an elegant touch.

  2. Boho Chic Patterns: Draw geometric shapes or earthy mandalas inspired by bohemian design trends to pair perfectly with our Bohemian Ceramic Plates Sets.

  3. Classic Bunny Whimsy: Outline bunnies with royal icing in pastel hues, then add tiny details like whiskers or polka-dotted bow ties.

Step 3: Presenting Your Creations

The way you present your cookies can elevate them from delicious treats to show-stopping decor:

Step 4: Make It a Family Affair
