To help with the decorating process, I made a PDF template available for this season's Easter collection, including this Easter chick on eggs design.

You can download these cookie templates HERE.

If you have a Kopykake or Pico projector, just print it out (or pull it up on your mobile device) and you are good to go. For those without a projector, follow the suggested steps below by tracing the design onto the cookie with an edible food marker.

The Cookie Decorating Process

To decorate these cookies, my icing of choice is royal icing. Here's how to make royal icing for cookie decorating.

For the colors used for this Easter cookie, you will need the following suggested colors:

• Pink icing (I used Americolor Deep Pink.)
• White  icing. (I used Americolor Bright White.)
• Yellow icing (I used Americolor Egg Yellow.)
• Purple icing (I used  Americolor Regal Purple.)
• Blue icing (I mixed Americolor Sky Blue with Americolor Teal.)
• Orange icing (I used Americolor Orange.)
• Black icing (I used Americolor Super Black.)

Step 1

Begin by flooding alternating sections. I started with the middle blue egg, let that icing setup, then move on to flood the top yellow chick body (minus the arms) and the bottom pink egg.

Let this icing set for about an hour.

Step 2

Next, fill in the arm sections of the top chick. Add purple stripes to the bottom pink egg, as shown.

Then add the orange feet detail, along with the lower beak detail. Then start adding two non-touching petals of the white flower on the bottom egg.

Step 3

Move on to adding the upper beak detail, the black eye lines, and two more non-touching petals.

Lastly, outline the hair feathers, add the white curly lines of the middle egg, and finish the final flower details.
