Painted Easter Crackers

So there I was. It was 9pm and I was signed up to bring in CHIPS to the Easter party (the next morning). Chips were too easy. So, I found a recipe  for CHEESE CRACKERS. They turned out more like cheesy biscuits but were still very good! I'd suggest cutting back on the baking powder a smidge.

To decorate, I went against my "NO ARTIFICIAL COLORS" rule and broke out my neon dyes.

Hey, it was 9pm, it was an emergency. Ordering these all natural dyes from The Natural Candy Store is on my to do list.


Here's my dish full of tools:

The paintbrush stays in my kitchen and is only used for food.

I rolled out the dough and cut out a zillion egg shapes. Then, I mixed about 2 drops of each color with egg whites in separate custard cups. I swirled some "paint" across the eggs and baked them towards the BOTTOM of the oven so the tops wouldn't get too brown.

It's a bit of an April Fool's joke since they look like sugar cookies :)
