Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoon milk
Pink Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon red food coloring
- 2 teaspoon milk
Instructions
- Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar on high until well blended. Add the vanilla extract and egg, and beat on high for 1 minute. Turn to medium speed and add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat until well blended, scraping sides of bowl with a spatula to incorporate all flour. When flour is all combined and crumbly, set to high again and beat until a soft dough begins to form.
- Add the milk and beat on high for 1-2 minutes, until a soft and pliable dough has formed. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
- When dough has chilled, shape each cookie paw. Roll 3 small balls of about 1 teaspoon of dough and 1 larger ball of about 1 tablespoon of dough. Place in the shape of a bunny footprint on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F for 8 minutes, until the edges just begin to brown.
- Remove baking sheet from the oven. While still warm, use the back of a measuring spoon to gently imprint a hole into each pad of the foot.
- Whisk the powdered sugar and red food coloring. Add the milk and whisk until smooth (add more milk in small increments if needed until a smooth and pourable icing has formed). Use a spoon to fill the holes in the pads with icing.
- Let the cookies cool until the icing has hardened.
