For the sugar cookie dough:
- 1 cup unsalted sweet cream butter
- 1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
For the royal icing:
- 3 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 cup confectioners' sugar
- pink gel food coloring
Instructions
For the sugar cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner.
- Using a standing mixer, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and egg until creamy and well combined.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, cream of tartar and baking soda.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until well combined and a dough forms.
- Place dough on a cutting board or silicone mat sprinkled with flour. Sprinkle some additional flour onto the dough itself and roll it out until it is about 2 inches thick.
- Using the cookie cutter, cut out your cookies and place them onto the cookie sheet.
- Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes, before transfering to a wire baking rack to cool completely.
For the royal icing:
- Using a standing mixer, mix together egg whites, powdered sugar, vanilla and cream of tartar until well combined.
- If your royal icing mixture looks too watery, add in more powdered sugar (max 2 cups) until your icing begins to thicken.
- Continue to mix until icing is white and stiff with peaks (about 5-7 minutes).
- Scoop some icing into a bowl and add pink food coloring. Mix until well blended. Spoon the pink icing into a piping bag and place into the refrigerator to use later.
- Spoon some white icing into another piping bag.
- Using the remaining white icing, add in 2-4 tablespoons of water into the white icing and mix until combined. Pour into a squeeze bottle.
- Using the white icing in the piping bag, pipe a line around the edging off all your cookies. Then, place the remaining icing in the piping bag back into the refrigerator.
- Using the squeeze bottle, fill in your cookies with white icing.
- Allow icing to set before continuing. For best results, allow to set overnight.
To Decorate:
- Once icing is completely dry, use the white piping bag to add a small dollop of icing onto the back of the egg-shaped cookies to act as a glue. Then, stick the egg-shaped cookies onto the circle shaped cookies to act as the bunny’s feet. (Reference picture to see proper placement of feet.)
- Using the pink icing in a piping bag fitted with a #2 tip, add the details to the feet and pipe on a pink dot for the bunny tail. (Again, reference picture to see where we placed the tail and details on feet.)
- Allow cookies to set completely (1-2 hours) before enjoying!
