Looking for delicious Easter biscuit inspiration? Try our best ever recipes, triple tested.
Easter biscuits are such a fun way to get the family baking together and a really great way to get the little ones involved. Easter Sunday falls on 20th April this year and we have plenty of Easter biscuit recipes for you to try over the long bank holiday weekend.
Some of our favourite options include an iced Easter egg biscuit, crumbly oat chocolate cookies, simnel spiced daisy cookies and a cornflake and mini egg biscuit to use up any leftover chocolate (if you have any left over that is!).
Our cornflake and mini egg biscuit is a bit like the popular mini chocolate cornflake nests, but in biscuit form. They're really easy to make and you'll keep going back for more. They make a great option when you're looking for a weekend activity and is perfect for kids to help out with.
Our fried egg and bacon biscuits are a really fun biscuit to make with kids and can double up as an edible decoration on the Easter table or hung up if you make a hole in the top of them, and carefully thread some string through.
Our simnel cake cookies are inspired by the classic simnel cake recipe. They are American style cookies baked with almonds, raisins, spices and filled with white chocolate chunks. You can also add in marzipan chunks if you're a real fan of the taste of almonds.
And while not strictly an Easter themed bake, our banoffee pie biscuits are another twist on a classic cake - made with toffee, dried banana chips and bananas.
