Easter bunny cookies

Your children will love mixing the dough for these cute Easter biscuits

Ingredients
200 g unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
200 g Fairtrade caster sugar
1 medium free-range egg, beaten
400 g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
2 tsp Madagascan vanilla extract

To decorate:
180 g icing sugar, sifted
2 tbsp fresh milk
A few drops of pink food colouring
25 mini marshmallows, halved
You will also need:

Bunny-shaped cutters, or use a stencil cut from baking parchment

Method
Using an electric hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl, until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and continue to beat. Sift in the flour, then add the vanilla extract and fold through to form a dough.

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Line 2 baking trays with baking parchment.

Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out until it's about 4mm thick. Use a 7cm bunny-shaped biscuit cutter to cut biscuits from the dough.

Arrange on the baking trays and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven and leave the biscuits on the trays to cool slightly before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Make your bunnies fluffy! Scatter over pink or white sprinkles while the icing is still wet.

To make the icing, combine the icing sugar, milk and food colouring in a bowl until smooth. Carefully spread over the biscuits and press a marshmallow tail on each.

For years consumers have struggled to fit the large round fruit in their refrigerators. And then there was the problem of trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around. But 20 years ago a forward-thinking farmer on Japan's south-western   island   of Shikoku solved the problem. The farmer, from Zentsuji, in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are.......................

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread : " 'The Trader Joe's cornbread was some of the best cornbread I've tasted, from a mix or otherwise.' Ever wonder about a boxed mix you've seen in the store? Is it any good? Could it replace something you'd otherwise make from scratch? Welcome to Mixed Review , where the whole point is putting boxed mixes to the test! —The Mgmt. Two years ago, I did a roundup of standard supermarket cornbread mixes for this column and was generally unimpressed with all of them. They were gummy, thin, and cloyingly sweet. I called Jiffy, my top choice, 'solid, if not sensational' and recommended doctoring it up with add-ins like sun-dried tomatoes, poppy seeds, and pecans. This year, I thought it was time to revisit the cornbread basket by comparing two readily available specialty mixes: Crate & Barrel's Buttermilk Cornbread Mix ($8.95) and Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix ($2.69).
