Easter Bunny Sprinkle Cookies
Makes 24 cookies
After you make the bunny sugar cookies, let them cool completely.
Then, you’ll make the royal icing mixture. Now if it looks like a yellow soup, add in another cup or two cups of powder sugar until your icing starts to thicken. Then, beat it until it turns white and forms stiff peaks. This takes about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer a small amount of icing into a bowl and add in your pink food coloring and mix until combined. Then, scoop it into a piping bag with a #2 icing tip and put it in the fridge until later.
For the white icing, scoop some into the piping bag also with a #2 icing tip.  For the rest of the icing, add in 3 tbsp of water and mix to thin it out until combined. Then, transfer that to a squeeze bottle.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, take your piping bag and outline the edge of each bunny. Then, fill in the inside with the squeeze bottle. Do this for each cookie.
Let cookies dry over night. Then, the next day is sprinkle time! Pour the bottle of sprinkles into a plate.  Pipe a thick line of icing around the edge of the cookie and then dip the edges all around in the sprinkles.
Place each cookie onto parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Now pull out the pink icing and pipe a pink dot for the tail.
Let completely dry before enjoying.
