Baby Chick Nutter Butter Easter Cookies
Nutter Butters are one of my all-time favorite cookies. I know it may not be so popular these days since it has peanuts in the ingredients. If someone you know has nut allergies you could replace this cookie with a regular sandwich cookie to be safe.
In this no-bake recipe wear going to use a premade sandwich cookie and dip it into chocolate and use icing to draw a baby chick. You can also use candy eyes for the eyes and coated candies like M& M’s for the beak. In this recipe we just used icing.
Icings we used: (Frosting tip #3)
- Orange Cookie Icing, for the Bird Beak
- White Cookie Icing, for the Eggshell
- Black Gel Icing, for the Chick’s Eyes
Chocolate we used:
- 2 oz of White Chocolate Squares or Wafers
- Yellow Oil-based Food Coloring for Chocolate Candy Melts Do not use regualr food coloring you need food coloring for chocolate
Step By Step Easter Chick Cookie Instructions:
1. Melt the white chocolate squares with the yellow food coloring in the microwave in 20-second increments. Remove from the microwave in between 20-second increments and stir Repeat until melted. White chocolate burns easily so be aware and do not overcook.
2. Take a fork and gently put it between the layers of the cookie. Dip the cookie in the melted chocolate and cover it completely.
3. Drain off excess chocolate and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Chill the cookies in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens and sets, about 10 minutes.
5. Use the white frosting, pipe cracked shell shapes on top and bottom of the cookie.
6. Use black frosting to pipe 2 tiny dots for the eyes.
7. Use the orange frosting to pipe a small beak just below the eyes.
8. Put the cookies back into the refrigerator and allow them to set for 10 minutes. Let them dry and cool for 20 minutes out of the refrigerator and serve!
