Bunny Biscuits!

It's not Easter anymore but bunnies are cute all year long!

Here is a recipe for some adorable bunny cookies!
They are delicious and can be cut into any shape you like, making them perfect for every occasion!

I had a lot of fun decorating them! I've never done anything like this before. It was a little hard at first but once you get used to spreading the icing it gets really easy and fun.
Be creative!
You can make your bunnies look as cute or crazy as you like.

Making a White Rabbit bunny like the one from Alice in Wonderland would be great for a tea party.
But to be honest, they would look so cute that everyone would love them, no matter the occasion.
I'll definitely make them sometime!

I got this recipe from the Prima Makes Magazine, special edition (issue 1).
They have some great projects and recipes!

Matching ice lolly and cookie cutters!

Ingredients

• 250g plain flour
• 125g self-raising flour
• pinch of salt
• 250g unsalted butter (at room temperature)
• 125g golden caster sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1tsp vanilla extract ( I used almond extract and it worked just as well, it's not as traditional or usual but it was very tasty)
• Bunny cookie cutter (or any other shape you would like)
• Ready-made cookie icing

You can also get some cute ribbon and tie it around your bunnies neck.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
Sift the flours and salt and mix everything together to form a dough.
Put in a sealed food bag and chill for at least 1 hour.

Roll out the dough and cut out the biscuits. Scrunch up any remaining dough and re-roll it. If the dough becomes sticky or greasy, put it back in the fridge to cool it down.

Place your bunnies in a lined baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C (gas mark 6).
Bake for 12 to 16 minutes or until golden. Leave to cool.

Decorate them!
Make sure they are completely cool or the icing will melt.
You can use ready-made icing or make your own (egg whites, lemon juice, icing sugar and food colouring).
To cover the bunny, outline the body with a fine line and then, using a thinned icing ( just add more water), flood the inside. Leave it to dry and add details.

You can ice some bunnies with a face and others with a little fluffy tail. They look really cute and this way they don't look all the same.

I hope you all enjoyed this recipe!
It's easy to make and can be super fun!
