Cook Time: 8 minutes
Cooling Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 58 minutes
Servings: 16 Bunny Face Cookies

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 15.25 ounces vanilla or white cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil

Frosting

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature (1 ½ sticks)
  • 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-4 Tablespoons milk

Decorations

  • 16 regular marshmallows
  • 2 Tablespoons pink sanding sugar
  • 16 mini marshmallows
  • 16 large heart sprinkles
  • 32 black pearl sprinkles

Instructions

Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two cookies sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add cake mix, eggs and oil to a medium sized mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop drop the cookie dough onto the parchment lined cookies sheets leaving at least 2 inches between scoops.
  • Place baking sheets in preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Frosting

  • Add the butter to a medium mixing bowl and beat with hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Then add the powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and 1 Tablespoon of milk to the bowl with butter. Beat until well combined. Add more milk, 1/2 Tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a consistency where it can be easily spread, but still retains it's shape.

Assembly

  • When the cookies are cooled, cut the large marshmallows in half diagonally with a sharp kitchen shears or chef's knife. Place the pink sanding sugar into a bowl and dip the freshly cut side of the marshmallow into the pink sugar to create the bunny ears.
  • Cut each mini marshmallow in half crosswise to create a bunny muzzle.
  • Frost each completely cooled cookie.
  • Immediately, while frosting is still wet, place a heart shaped sprinkle in the center of the bottom 1/2 of the cookie. This will create the nose on the cookie.
  • Then add two of the mini marshmallow halves directly below the heart to create the bunny muzzle.
  • After that, place two of the large marshmallow halves at the top of each cookie to create the ears.
  • Then place two black pearl sprinkles between the ears and nose to create the bunny eyes.
  • Allow frosting to set before serving the cookies.

Notes

  • You can store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to three days. Either store them as a single layer, or put a sheet of parchment paper in between layers if you have to stack them.
  • If you can’t find heart sprinkles, you can use jelly beans, M&M’s, or any other small candy as the nose for your Easter bunny cookies.
  • If you need a way to make these bunny face sugar cookies quickly, feel free to grab some pre-made cookie dough and a can of frosting.
  • Be sure you decorate each cookie while the frosting is still wet so that all of the decorations will stick.
