Add a unique touch to your Easter table with a brightly decorated giant egg. You can bake it using store-bought sugar cookie dough, and decorate it with your children. To do this, prepare lots of different colored candies and royal icing made from beaten egg whites, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. The icing is easy to pipe and sets, making it a great material for decorating this unique egg. You can also use it as a glue for candies and gummies, arranged in various patterns on the egg.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the cookie dough with flour until smooth. Place it on the prepared baking sheet and shape it into an egg-shaped cookie dough about 1 cm thick, 22 cm long, and 18 cm wide at the widest point. Bake until golden brown around the edges, about 25 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for about 15 minutes.
