A hit with children at Easter! Approx. 50 cookies

Mix the flour with the remaining dry ingredients. Add the butter and eggs and knead everything with your hands until you have a smooth dough. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out shapes using any cookie cutters you like. For the bunnies with the almond, press an almond into the arms of the cut-out bunny before baking. For the fruity Easter egg double-decker cookies, cut out a whole egg and one with a small hole in the bottom. Bake all cookies at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 12-15 minutes. After baking, assemble the egg cookies using apricot jam. Add a little more jam to the hole. For the sheep, cover the cookies with powdered sugar icing and sprinkle with desiccated coconut after baking.
