Ingredients
2 packages sugar cookie dough
2 teaspoons cherry extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
Decorating icings
Directions
Special equipment:
8 short lollipop sticks Bunny cookie cutters 10 by 20-inch pieces thin foam Large tray or basket 10 by 20-inch piece wheat grass Colored Easter eggs- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix the sugar cookie dough with the cherry extract and 1/2 to 1 cup flour to make a very firm cookie dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. It has to be very thick for the lollipop sticks to stay in once baked.
- Cut out bunny shapes and insert lollipop sticks. You should get about 8 cookies, depending on the size of your cutter. Bake according to package directions (they will probably need a little longer as they will be MUCH thicker). Cool completely.
- Decorate with icings. Let the icing dry overnight.
- Place the foam in your large tray or basket. Top with the wheat grass. Insert the bunny cookies into the grass and foam. Scatter some Easter eggs around the grass.
