these looked cute and thought they would be nice for Easter... the recipe and photo are from Land o' Lakes
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup land o lakes® butter, softened
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
miniature marshmallows, if desired
frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup land o lakes® butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 -3 tablespoons milk
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Combine sugar, 1 cup butter and egg in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add all remaining cookie ingredients except marshmallows. Beat until well mixed.
2. To shape bunnies, roll dough into 30 (1-inch) balls, 30 (3/4-inch) balls and 60 (1x1/4-inch) logs. For each cookie, place 1 (1-inch) ball onto ungreased cookie sheet; top with 1 (3/4-inch) ball and 2 logs for ears. (Make sure dough pieces are touching so that bunny is formed during baking.) Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in center.
3. Remove from oven; place 1 marshmallow on half of bunny cookies to resemble tails, if desired. Continue baking for 1 to 2 minutes or until marshmallow is slightly melted. Cool completely.
4. Combine powdered sugar, 1/4 cup butter and vanilla in small bowl. Beat at low speed, gradually adding milk, until desired spreading consistency. Place frosting in pastry bag fitted with decorator tip. Decorate cookies as desired.
