EASY PEASY EASTER COOKIES! 6
March 30, 2015
I know Aussies don’t typically use the word COOKIES however, if I call them BISCUITS then my gorgeous American readers won’t know what the heck I am talking about… BUT if I call them COOKIES, even though the Aussies don’t love the word / use it often at least they will know what I mean!
Ok, so glad we got that out of the way.
Actually, I can just explain now to the Americans who don’t know – down under – we call a COOKIE a BISCUIT.
But see that’s not entirely true either – we DO use the word ‘cookie’ sometimes….
Like a biscuit with chocolate chunks in it would often be called a Chocolate Chip Cookie… wouldn’t it??!
ALRIGHT. I’m annoying myself now so I will set this conversation aside and just say;
Are you looking for a CRAZY-EASY Easter recipe?
DO you have NO TIME?
Can you apply sprinkles!?
If you answered YES, YES AND YES, then these biscuits are for you!
AND If you answered NO to any of the above questions, then these biscuits are STILL for you!
Thank you FB pal Angela for inspiring this post – I loved the hundreds and thousands you used – the possibilities for bikkie toppings are ENDLESS!
HAPPY EASTER!

INGREDIENTS
1 packet Arnott’s Arrowroot biscuits (I am SURE there are equivalents Overseas…… basically any plain oval shaped cookie!)
100g White Chocolate
SPRINKLES!!!!!!! Or Coconut Or nutes or Choc Chips OR ANYTHING! Think crushed Tim Tams… Mini M and M’s….
METHOD
1) Lay the biscuits on a baking paper lined tray/board – flat side up.
2) Melt chocolate either in microwave (in 10 second bursts, stirring in between) or over a Bain Marie.
3) One by one, using a pastry brush, spread a thin layer of melted chocolate on the back of each biscuit. Generously top the chocolate with sprinkles.
4) Place in fridge to set properly.
Arrange in a basket as a gift for school friends, teachers, co-workers or family!
HAPPY EASTER!

I’m a dual citizen and when I hear biscuit I think of breakfast so it’s cookie all the way with me – even after 20 years. I LOVE this idea and wouldn’t kids have fun decorating these? Great idea.
Thank you!
What a great idea. I have dozens of packets of sprinkles left in my cupboard from baking sessions with my 2 little grandsons who have since moved to Broken Hill. This is a brilliant way of using them up and I know other half will be more than happy to eat the finished product.
On the subject of cookie versus biscuit, I was brought up in UK, but have lived here for 45 yrs. I call things shop bought in packets – biscuits, but anything I bake in biscuit form I always refer to as cookies. My American daughter in law still calls everything cookies after 18 yrs here.
Love the site, everything very well set out and explained.
What a wonderful comment – thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your history! :) Phoodie
