Bunny Paw Cookies Ingredients:
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
Sweeteners:
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by heating oven to 350F (175C) and lining baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whip butter and powdered sugar until creamy and airy, ensuring smooth texture.
- Incorporate vanilla extract, blending thoroughly into butter mixture.
- Gradually fold flour and salt into mixture, kneading until soft, cohesive dough forms.
- Shape dough into tablespoon-sized rounds, gently pressing onto prepared baking sheet.
- Bake 12-15 minutes until edges turn delicate golden brown, signaling perfect doneness.
- Allow cookies to cool completely, creating stable surface for decorating.
- Submerge cookie tops into melted white chocolate, creating smooth glossy coating.
- Position large pink candy melt centrally to represent paw pad.
- Strategically place four small pink candy pearls or mini M&Ms above central pad, mimicking adorable bunny toe configuration.
- Let chocolate decoration set fully before serving, ensuring elegant presentation.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for smoother, more even mixing and a softer cookie texture.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before shaping to prevent spreading and maintain cute paw shape.
- Swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend for celiac-friendly cookies that taste just as delightful.
- Control chocolate coating thickness by gently tapping off excess after dipping for a clean, professional finish.
