Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 2 1/4 cups
- Unsalted butter: 1 cup (softened)
- Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
- Large egg: 1
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Chocolate chips: 1 cup (for melting)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 3: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use bunny-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the cookies.
- Step 4: Place the cookies on ungreased baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Step 5: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Step 6: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Dip the cooled bunny cookies into the melted chocolate, covering as much or as little as you like. Place on parchment paper until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- Store your adorable chocolate-dipped bunny cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh and crisp.
- If the chocolate on your cookies softens slightly, a quick chill in the fridge will firm it up beautifully.
- Serve these bunny cookies with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of your favorite ice cream for an extra special treat.
- For easier rolling and cutting, chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling it out; this prevents it from sticking and losing its shape.
