Mini Egg Shortbread
These melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies make beautiful (and tasty) Easter treats for everyone to enjoy. They’re great for dessert or added to a platter for some extra colour. As an added bonus, they can be prepared up to two weeks in advance of your gathering and will still taste freshly baked.
Chocolate Mini Egg Scones
Super chocolatey and moist, these Chocolate Mini Egg Scones have an extra-crunchy exterior and sweeter flavour than traditional scones. Their cake-like texture is best served with some butter or whipped cream.
Lavender Earl Grey Shorties
These light and delicious spring treats pair perfectly with tea or coffee. Prepare them using your favourite Lavender Earl Grey tea and drizzle with tempered milk chocolate for an extra-sweet finish.
