Why I Love This Recipe
The rabbit, or bunny, associated with Easter has its origins in pagan traditions marking fertility and spring, with the cookie's bunny shape symbolizing joy and renewal.
Ingredients You'll Need
2 1/2 cups flour, divided
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar, divided
2 tbsp milk, as needed for icing
Food coloring (variety of pastel colors)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of softened butter with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
Gradually mix in the flour mixture to form a cookie dough.
Roll out dough, using flour as needed to dust, and cut out bunny shapes using cookie cutters. Place on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
For the icing, mix 2 cups of powdered sugar with milk, adding a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
Divide icing and color each portion with different pastel shades.
Decorate cookies as desired using the icing. Allow to set.
Assemble by sandwiching a layer of icing between two cookies, forming cookie sandwiches. Enjoy!
