Yesterday I was completely inspired when I spied these cookies from Fancy Flours and decided to make them then and there! I didn't have their bunny ear cutters of course, so made my own template. I immediately imagined a glass of milk as a white bunny, and using markers to make a simple bunny face:) I also dressed the ears up with royal icing.
I had so much fun on this cookie project and was tickled with the results!
I made the template by cutting out some bunny ears (4.5-inches x 2-inches, at widest part) freehand from a file folder. I got the glass(es) I was going to use from the cupboard and fiddled with the template (especially the notches) until the ears fit correctly on the glass rim, and stayed upright.
From there I rolled out the sugar cookie dough fairly thick (3/8-inch). I placed the templates on the dough and cut around them with a small, sharp knife, then transferred the cut-outs to the baking sheet. Before baking, I placed the baking sheets into the freezer for 10-15 minutes to hold the shape, particularly the notches. Even so, immediately after baking I used the small, sharp knife to cut into the dough to make the notches more pronounced and precise.
{Be sure you bake the cookies long enough so that they'll be firm and stay put on the rim of the glasses.}
Let the cookies cool completely and then decorate with royal icing. Outline the ear in white (see middle photo) and let that dry for about 15 minutes before filling in with white, thinned royal icing. Allow to dry for about an hour. Do the same with the pink icing, and let dry overnight, if possible.
For the faces, simply use a dry erase marker, or Sharpie (It washes off easily with soap), to pen a cute bunny face. Pour in enough milk* to make your bunny faces:) Place the ears carefully on the rims of the glasses. If they fit too tightly (or don't quite fit), use the small, sharp knife and gently scrape the inside of the notches for a better fit.
*You can also make brown bunny faces with chocolate milk:)
Drink your milk, dip your bunny ears in the milk, nibble (as bunnies do) and ENJOY!
Make some of these cookies for your favorite munchkins to let them know that somebunny loves them:)
Now, instead of making your own template, you can purchase a cutter (based on this design) from Bobbi's Cookies and Cutters, right HERE!

ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to What's Cookin' Wednesday!
Oh my word! This is the cutest cookies and milk I have ever seen!!!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable!! You are just so creative Sue. I really love your idea. I would definitely use this idea to make my kids love milk. I am sure their attention will be directed to the cute bunny ears. It is amazing that it can be done in a simple manner and would not eat up much of my time. This is really something that moms like me can just use to attract kids to eat.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely replacing the traditional stand-up bunny cake (ya know, the one made with 1 round cake pan & paper ears) with this for our fun Easter dessert. Such a great idea...well done!
ReplyDeleteI am featuring YOU and this FABulous idea at this week's For the Kids Friday link party! Thanks so much for sharing at Sun Scholars! You are awesome!!!

What a fun idea! And wonderful for a kid's Easter party!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable!!!! Would it be possible for you to share your template? An artist I am not. I was going to order the cookie cutter but thought I would ask if you would share the template. Thanks
ReplyDeleteBarbara, I am not very tech savvy, but if I can find someone to help me with making the template available online, I will be happy to do so:)
DeleteI just discovered your blog and it is fantastic. You are so creative. I actually discovered your blog via a post on I am Baker, and I was upset on your behalf when I heard that someone had stolen one of your posts and added it as their own to a Facebook page. I just don't understand how someone could do this and think it is OK.
ReplyDeleteTickle me pink!
ReplyDeleteOh wow - looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese cookie are adorable! Pat S
