Ingredients

Scale

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 large eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the wet mixture until fully combined.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Roll out on a floured surface to about half an inch thick and cut out bunny shapes using a cookie cutter.
Place the cut-out cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
Let cool on wire racks before decorating as desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider incorporating almond extract or lemon zest into the dough.

To achieve vibrant colors when decorating, use gel food coloring mixed with royal icing.
