Easter Bunny Sugar Cookies
These Easter bunny sugar cookies are made using a simple sugar cookie recipe! Instead of baking them on a cookie sheet, press the dough into a mini muffin tin! When you pull them out of the oven, press the center in to create a bowl for a delicious light and fluffy cream cheese frosting. Then, top the cookies with shredded coconut flakes and marshmallow bunny ears!

How to Make Bunny Ears out of Marshmallows for Easter Bunny Desserts:
-
Use sharp kitchen scissors to cut a marshmallow on the diagonal.
-
Repeat on the opposite side of the marshmallow.
-
Dip into frosting and add to cupcakes or cookies!
This frosting recipe is a great cream cheese frosting recipe that can be used for cupcakes, cakes, and cookies! Adding heavy whipping cream lightens the cream cheese flavor and makes the frosting much less dense than a traditional cream cheese frosting.
In this recipe, I used vanilla extract, but you can get creative and add any type of extract that you’d like! You can also add a bit of food coloring to alter the color of the frosting!
Note when making the frosting: make sure your ingredients are very cold! This will help thicken the frosting!

Yours came out absolutely adorable. The recipe is delicious for sure. I have a few hopefully helpful comments — all in the spirit of positivity. For some reason 12 minutes was not enough. I had to add another 12 minute to get them to stop looking like white mushrooms and start looking a little "tan." Yummy though. The frosting is fabulous. I was delighted to see it turn into peaks. Had a hard time getting the little ears (which are soft) to adhere themselves to the top of the cookies. Soft ears into soft icing…made worse if the coconut is added first. I am wondering if the marshmallows are a little stale it would help? just a thought…May be good to note that the recipe makes about 36 little cookie/cupcakes for those who are trying to figure serving size. Thanks so much for posting. They are adorable. I couldn’t find the heart noses so I used pink M&M’s after trying to use pink gel to make a little blob (looked great, but hard to get it to adhere to the coconut)
Thank you so much Cindi! Yes must add your notes, and I do truly appreciate them! I must remember my oven cooks things incredibly quickly – when we first got it we couldn’t believe it cooked a pizza in half the time. I will add notes into further baking recipes!
