Here's a recipe for Bunny Easter Delight Cookies:
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Food coloring (assorted colors)
Mini chocolate chips (for eyes)
Pink candy-coated chocolates or jelly beans (for noses)
Shredded coconut (for bunny tails)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and egg, and continue mixing until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into separate portions, depending on how many colors you want to use for your bunnies.
3. Add a few drops of food coloring to each portion of dough and knead it until the color is evenly distributed. You can use pastel colors for a traditional Easter look.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Take a small portion of each colored dough and roll it into a small ball, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
6. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to create a round cookie shape. Use your fingers to pinch and shape one end of the cookie into bunny ears.
7. Press two mini chocolate chips into each cookie to create eyes and press a pink candy-coated chocolate or jelly bean slightly below the eyes to make the bunny's nose.
8. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded coconut below the nose to resemble a fluffy bunny tail.
9. Repeat steps 5-8 with the remaining dough, using different colors to create a variety of colorful bunny cookies.
10. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, serve and enjoy your adorable Bunny Easter Delight Cookies!
These cookies are perfect for Easter celebrations or as a fun baking activity with kids. They are sure to bring a smile to everyone's face.
