Celebrate all things SPRING with these adorable BUNNY COOKIES!!!

Hippity Hoppity Easter’s on its WAY!

As luck would have it, I saw a Jack Rabbit the other day.

WOW, do they have LONG ears!

He was running so fast, I didn’t even get a photo of him.

He was as cute as can be.

I don’t recall ever seeing one before,  if I did I don’t think I would have forgotten those ears.

These can also be PERFECT for bunny slipper cookies for a SLEEPOVER, no sleep over should be without cute cookies!

 

 

These bunnies are easy to decorate. I used an egg shaped cookie cutters to cut them out.  One was 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 the other was mini 1 1/2 x 1. The mini ones are ADORABLE.

 

The tails got a drop of icing them dipped in nonpareils.

 

AHHH….they are all hoping to get the giant carrot!

 

I think these would be great for a sleepover, they look like Bunny Slippers….or at least that is what they remind me of.

How can I wrap and ship cookies?

I do not take cookies order or wrap and ship cookies regularly. I do happen to do it a few times a year to special friends and this is how I wrap and ship cookies. I bag cookies in small increments either individual or like here 6 at a time. I use food-grade cellophane bags, they are firm and not flimsy and I feel they work well and prevent the cookies from crumbling. I pack the cookies in a bakery-style box, add bubble wrap sheets to the top and bottom of the bakery box, then place that box into a shipping box, typically a flat rate shipping box so that they arrive quickly.

I make sure the cookies don’t move around in the box, if they do, I add something to take up that space, more bubble wrap or tissue paper. The less the cookies move the better they will arrive at their destination when shipped.

    I love your little bunnies. I like the thickness of them, too.

    I read through several places where you use your italian cookies. What makes them your favorite cookie? Is it just that they are not quite as sweet?

      What makes them my favorite is that they aren’t overly sweet and the icing is a nice sweet touch to them, but that they bake up with a more cake like texture than crispy dense cookie texture. They are very similar to the cookies you would get in Italian Bakeries in the East Coast, so for me it’s all about the childhood memories as well. They are my families favorite, if you try them, let me know what you think 🙂

    What is the candy tail? Reminds me of snowcaps, but without the chocolate. Where did you find them?

      They are white nonpareil sprinkles, just like the kind on snowcaps. I find them in the sprinkle section of baking supply stores.
