How to Make Hatching Chicken Easter Egg Cookies

This is my take on the Chicken Easter cookie.
Hope this video will help you create you own Easter chicks.

For this project you will need:

Egg shaped sugar cookies
Yellow and White flood consistency royal icing
Orange, Black, White medium consistency royal icing
Scribe tool or toothpick
Pink edible color dust
Dry brush only used for food purposes

Sugar Cookie recipe can be found below:
Sugar Cookie Recipe I use (It's been adopted, changed and tried)
1 cup room temperature butter ( 1 stick salted and 1 stick unsalted)
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs (room temperature)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
3 2/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. No need to sift. I use a whisk to mix the two together.

In a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar till evenly blended. Add one egg at the time after each egg is well mixed. Add vanilla extract then blend till thoroughly mixed and make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.

Add the flour blend to the butter mixture in 2 batches. Mix till combined. If mixture is sticky, add a little more flour. I usually don't have to add extra flour.

Dived batter in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hrs.

After is cold enough and not sticky, I roll it out between the plastic wraps to 1/4 inch thickness and bake them at 350 degrees F from 8-10 minutes depending on the size of the cookies.
