Easter Bunny Butt Cookies

Easter Bunny Butt Cookies

With Easter just around the corner, my kids can’t stop asking for delicious bunny-themed treats!

These delightful sugar cookies are cleverly stacked and arranged to resemble the Easter Bunny from behind.

Ingredients:

• 1-1/3 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients.
3. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls and place them onto ungreased cookie sheets.

4. To create the bunny feet, cut one full-sized cookie into four equal pieces, rounding each piece into a circle before baking.
5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheet for two minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool.

6. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, mix together frosting and 1 to 3 drops of pink food coloring until well combined. Microwave uncovered for 10 to 15 seconds, or until soft but not melted.
7. Frost one entire cookie slice and two bunny feet with the pink frosting. Attach the feet to the bottom of the main cookie. Place a marshmallow at the center of each cookie for the bunny’s tail, and decorate the feet with candy sprinkles or additional frosting. Repeat with the remaining cookies and feet.
