Bunny Butt Cookies

The kids and I had so much fun making these Bunny Butt Cookies, I can’t even begin to tell you. Mostly because for a little while at our house it was “legal” to say “butt” and not get in trouble! I suppose you could call them Bunny Bottom cookies, if you wanted, it just wasn’t nearly as cute with all the giggles.

First, make your favorite sugar cookie recipe. If you don’t have one, I have a few HERE, HERE and HERE that you can make. They are all really good.

You will want to cut out larger circles for the Bunny. I used a 5″ round circle (found HERE)  for theses, or use a large cup to cut the shape with. Then I used a smaller 1″ circle for the feet.

 

I actually have the Artco Cutter set that I think I picked up at a pottery store, you can see the set HERE, and have always used it on food and cookies. This little set has been INVALUABLE in the kitchen. I highly suggest having one!

Cut out 2 small circles for every large circle you cut, then bake until just before they are brown and take them out to cool.

Now you are going to make your frosting. I have always used the same frosting recipe, well and I don’t even have a recipe for it. You take some soft butter, maybe 1/2 a stick, and about 1/2 t. of vanilla (use clear if making white frosting) then about 1/4 cup of milk. Turn your mixer on with the beaters attached and start mixing as you add in powdered sugar. This is going to take 4-6 cups powdered sugar. Beat together until it is just a tiny bit thicker then you think it perfect. If you need to add milk, do it SUPER slowly and a LITTLE bit at a time.

I separated the frosting and left one white and made one pink.

For the Bunnt feet, I used Candy beads or pearls found HERE.  I also used a bag of the candy melts in light pink for the “pads” of the bunny feet.

They look so pretty all done! It was hard to keep kids off them! I took a mini marshmallow and dipped it in some frosting and then dipped it in some white sprinkles that I had on hand for his little Bunny tail. You could use glitter or something like that as well. Or jus a mini marshmallow.

 

I used some frosting to hold the feet on the larger cookie. They make a vary large cookie, so if you wanted to bag them up for kids to hand out, you can easily get away with one cookie per person!

I would love to see your photos if you make these adorable cookies!
