Calories 234kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar cookie dough softened to room temperature
- 2 cups white frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- red or pink food coloring
- mini chocolate chips
- bunny cookie cutter
Instructions
- Cut out sugar cookie dough using a bunny face cookie cutter. Bake according to premade dough instructions or recipe instructions. Let cool.
- Divide frosting into 2 bowls. In one bowl, add 1 ¼ cups of white frosting and set aside. In the other bowl, add the remaining ¾ cup white frosting, dye pink and place in piping bag with small round tip.
- Spread white frosting on top of baked sugar cookies.
- Press (2) mini chocolate chips upside-down for the eyes and (1) mini chocolate chip cut in half for the mouth.
- With your pink frosting, pipe (2) lines for the bunny ears, (2) small dots for the bunny rosy cheeks, and (1) large dot for the bunny nose,
- Store in airtight container for 2-3 days or freeze for later.
Notes
Substitutions for chocolate chips: You can also use mini m&m's or or eyeball sprinkles to create the eyes! If you don’t have either of those, you can also dye a little bit of frosting black and pipe on the details (although this is definitely messier & more effort!).
Storing: store in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
Freezing: you can freeze the unfrosted or frosted bunny sugar cookies for up to 1 month in an airtight container. I suggest freezing them in one layer before stacking. After they’re frozen, you can place parchment paper in between each later to prevent them from sticking together.
Make Ahead: freeze the unfrosted cookies and then let them thaw to room temperature before decorating. This is a great option if you want to make them ahead for a cookie decorating party!
