How to decorate peeking bunny cookies for Easter.
peeking bunny cookies
“Is it Easter yet? Is it Easter yet?” I’ve heard this every morning since Valentine’s Day. Soon, my darling four-year old, soon.
Look, I even spotted the Easter bunny peeking around the corner. And so, peeking bunny cookies.
how to make bunny cookies
- To make these, I cut out 2 1/2-inch squares from my cut out cookie dough.
- Made my royal icing and tinted pink, green and blue with Americolor Soft Gel Pastes (Electric Pink, Electric Green and Sky Blue).
- Then I outlined and flooded the background and let dry overnight.
- I prepared white fondant, rolled it out, cut out 1-inch circles, then cut those in half for the heads. I used scissors to cut out the ears. I attached them to the cookies with light corn syrup.
- Then I used edible writers to draw the eyes and pink in the ears. Easy peasy! I even bent one of the ears forward.
Have you seen any bunnies lurking around your house?

Thank you everybody! Love how much the word “cute” was used!! Yep, Sarah, since I like the taste of RI better than fondant, I do that a lot, using the fondant more sparingly.

I just wanted to let you know that I made this weekend and I am in LOVE! This was my first attempt at flooding AND making/using fondant, so they aren’t nearly as cute as yours! But, I’m so proud of them! You are too amazing for words!
Thank you for sharing this! I’d love to send you a photo of my cookies.

Hello,
I just found this blog while looking for ideas for Easter cookie decoration. Is it possible not to use fondant and use royal icing as well instead? Also, do you let each layer dry first before putting on the second layer?
Thank you.

Hi Catherine. Yes! Absolutely you can pipe the bunnies with royal icing. The ear won’t flop in 3D, but that’s OK, they will still be cute. I would do the background first, let it dry totally (a couple hours at least), then do the bunnies with white icing. However, to draw with the writers on icing, you do have to let it set reeeeeally well (longer than fondant). I’d let it sit overnight, ideally, but if you don’t have that long, a few hours should be OK.
