  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide the dough into equal parts and add a few drops of food coloring to each one. Mix until the color is evenly distributed.
  6. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  8. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  9. Use Easter-themed cookie cutters to cut out the dough into desired shapes.
  10. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with desired toppings.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Decorate with icing or additional sprinkles if desired.

Hot Tips:

- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for the best consistency.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it is easier to handle.
- Don't overbake the cookies to keep them soft and chewy.
- If you don't have Easter-themed cookie cutters, you can use regular ones and decorate the cookies with Easter-themed sprinkles and icing.

Creating Easter cookies is a fun and creative way to celebrate the holiday. This recipe is easy to follow and can be customised to your liking.

Have fun baking and enjoy the delicious treats with your family and friends!
