Ingredients

Cookie Dough:

3 ¾ cups freshly milled soft white wheat flour finely milled (431 grams)
¾ cup powdered sugar 75 grams
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold cubed butter (230 grams)
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk

Frosting:

½ cup softened butter 115 grams
1 cup powdered sugar 100 grams
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-2 tablespoons milk
Blue natural food coloring
Lindt milk chocolate mini eggs

Instructions

In a food processor or blender, add the flour, powdered sugar, salt, and butter. Pulse until the butter resembles small crumbs.
Add the vanilla, then add the milk a little bit at a time until it comes together into a ball.
Divide the dough in half. Shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in the fridge to chill until hardened, about an hour.
Roll the dough out onto a floured surface about ¼ inch thick. Cut out cookies using a 2 ½ - 3 inch egg shaped cookie cutter.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. then bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Prepare the frosting by beating the butter until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and beat. Add enough blue food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
Ice the cookies once they are cooled.
Place some of the Lindt eggs in a plastic bag and crush into small pieces. Decorate the cookies as desired with the crushed or whole eggs.
