Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 2 1/4 cups
- Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter, softened: 1 cup (2 sticks)
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Large egg: 1
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips: 12 ounces
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Step 3: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 4: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Step 5: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out bunny shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Step 6: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Melt chocolate chips and dip cooled cookies into the chocolate. Place on parchment paper until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
- Store your chocolate-dipped bunny cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh and prevent the chocolate from blooming.
- While not usually reheated, slightly warming the cookies in the microwave for 5-10 seconds can soften the chocolate for a more indulgent experience.
- Serve these adorable bunny cookies with a cold glass of milk or alongside a festive Easter brunch for a delightful treat.
- For a smoother chocolate coating, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate chips; this will give them a beautiful shine and prevent cracking.
