Have you ever made sugar cookies for Easter?
I decided this year I would finally give it a try! I was so excited to get started decorating these Easter Bunny Sugar Cookies. They turned out great if I do say so myself. These little bunny cookies make for easy Easy desserts.
The possibilities are endless when baking and decorating sugar cookies, which is what made the possibilities of these Easter Bunny Sugar Cookies even better! Putting my own little twist on them by using pastel colors for Spring. These little bunnies use a classic sugar cookie recipe and use candy melts to make the cutest easter cookies.
Once you have baked your sugar cookies, let them cool completely before adding any icing or decorations. For easy access while decorating, you can cut a few holes in a big ziplock bag and use that as a makeshift piping bag. Add your desired icing colors to pastry bags and away you go!
These Easter Bunny cookies are especially fun because you can have the kids help you cut the cookie dough with a Easter bunny cookie cutter. You will be using candy melts and sprinkles for the decoration. The bunny shapes and spring colors of these sweet treats make a great addition to a Easter dessert table on Easter Sunday.
You will have to dip cookie into the candy melts, you won’t need any food coloring for these fun pink bunnies.
