Bunny Hug Cookies

Mega scrumptious, bold in flavor and tender rosemary and lemon cookies are crumbly, crispy and ideal to charm any neighbor.

Ingredients

• 3 c. all-purpose flour, (plus more for surface)
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1 c. sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp. milk
• Cad-bury Mini Eggs
• 3" gingerbread cookie cutter

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), beat butter and sugar until fluffy and pale in color. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and beat until combined, then add flour mixture gradually until totally combined.
3. Shape into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour.
4. When ready to roll, preheat oven to 350º. Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out dough until 1/8” thick. Cut out gingerbread shapes (upside-down, they will be bunnies!) and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets.
5. Place a mini cadbury egg into the center of the arms and gently place arms around the edges of the egg. (They won’t wrap around the egg completely.) Use a toothpick to poke eyes and nose.
6. Bake until edges are lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
