Step 1: Bake the cookies
Prepare the 500 g FunCakes Cookie Mix with 1 egg and 150 g butter as indicated on the package. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it firm up in the refrigerator for one hour.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Briefly knead the chilled dough until smooth and roll it out on a floured work surface to a thickness of about 2–3 mm. Cut out the different shapes. Place them on the baking tray and bake the cookies for about 9–12 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Let them cool flat on the countertop.
Step 2: Make the apricot glaze
Heat a few tablespoons of apricot jam in the microwave or in a small saucepan. When it has become slightly liquid, press it through a sieve with the back of a spoon. The strained mixture will be your apricot glaze for brushing the cookies.
Step 3: Decorate the cookies with icing
Prepare the FunCakes Royal Icing Mix as indicated on the package. Then thin the icing with a little water until it reaches a yogurt-like consistency. Gradually add the water drop by drop to the stiff icing so you can better control the thickness.
Divide the icing into three portions. Leave one portion white and colour the other two very lightly with Colour Mill Tiffany and Lemon.
Place a spoonful of each colour on a flat plate and gently swirl them together with the back of a spoon. Dip the cookies into the icing, allow the excess to drip off while holding the cookie upside down, then turn it over and let it dry. Use small amounts of icing at a time because the marble effect fades after dipping twice. For the best result, repeat this step several times until you have enough cookies with an icing layer.
Step 4: Decorate the cookies with fondant
Brush the cookies with a thin layer of apricot glaze.
Knead the fondant colours until smooth and cut out the shapes. Place them on the matching cookies and decorate as desired.
You can also decorate the cookies using only the Easter Medley. Spread the cookies with a slightly thicker layer of apricot glaze and press the FunCakes Easter Medley onto the cookies.
