bunny decorated cookies
Yikes! It’s the week before Easter! Or, as we in blog land are calling it, #EasterSweetsWeek. I’ve joined my fellow bloggers in making fun treats for Easter all week long. I’m starting off with these easy bunny decorated cookies.
All you need is a circle or oval cookie cutter, some icing, and marshmallows and candy to decorate the cute bunnies. This is a great Easter cookie idea for beginners.

how to make easy bunny decorated cookies
you will need:
- cut-out cookie dough
- royal icing recipe
- circle OR oval cookie cutter (about 2 inches)
- white food coloring
- disposable decorating bag
- size “3” or “4” decorating tip
- mini marshmallows
- mini confetti sprinkles
- small candy eyes

- Tips on where to find cookie decorating supplies.
- More cookie decorating recipes.
- For an easy alternative to royal icing, try sugar cookie icing.
step-by-step instructions:
Prepare the cookie dough according to the recipe, chill, roll out, cut out circles or ovals, and bake. Let cool completely.
Prepare the royal icing according to the recipe. Tint the portion you need with white food coloring. The consistency of my icing here is thick enough to outline the cookie without oozing off the sides, but thin enough to lose the lines of frosting when I pipe to fill the cookie. Prepare a decorating bag with the decorating tip, fill with the icing, and close tightly with a rubber band.
Have ready some pink confetti sprinkles, candy eyes, and the marshmallow tails and ears. For the tails, cut a mini marshmallow in half at the width. For the ears, cut a mini marshmallow in half length-wise.
Pipe an outline on your circle or oval cookie. Pipe to fill the cookie. Attach a sprinkle nose, candy eyes, two ears, and a tail.
Let the cookies dry overnight.
