Yield Makes about 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 large egg white
Red liquid food coloring (optional)
3 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a bowl, beat butter with sugar until creamy, 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla, salt, and egg white. (For pink bunnies, add a drop or two of food coloring.) Reduce speed to low and slowly add flour until combined.
  • For each bunny, roll 1 tablespoon dough between palms to create a 1-inch oval. Hold kitchen shears at a 30-degree angle; snip ears about 1/2 inch from front. (Do not cut all the way through.)
  • With a toothpick, poke holes for eyes. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake bunnies just until golden brown on bottoms, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
