If you want to make easy cookies for Easter, check out these Easter Chocolate Bunny Cookies. With minimal prep and baking time, they are cute and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The cookies don’t spread too much and don’t require chilling time. Plus, they are so easy and fun to decorate.
These cookies are not overly sweet. So, if you have a sweet tooth, feel free to add another 3 tablespoons of sugar. For best results, cream together the butter and sugar very well. This takes about 3 minutes on medium speed in a stand mixer. Made with both dark chocolate and cocoa powder, these cookies boast a rich, chocolatey flavor. I like to use bittersweet chocolate chips and Dutch-processed cocoa powder for this recipe. To decorate the cookies, cut each mini marshmallow in half with a small sharp knife. Once the cookies are out of the oven, press a marshmallow half cut-side down onto each cookie to make a tail, and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets.
To make these Easter Chocolate Bunny Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together 1 cup butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed, about 3 minutes.
Add in 1 egg, ¼ cup melted and cooled chocolate, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix until thoroughly combined.
Add in 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole-wheat flour, ¾ cup unsweetened dark cocoa, and ½ teaspoon salt and mix well until combined and the dough forms a ball.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
Roll out the dough in between 2 sheets of parchment paper to ¼-inch thick.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out bunny shapes from the dough. Reroll scraps as necessary.
Once the cookies are cut out, arrange them on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake the cookies for 7 minutes. Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. While the cookies are still hot, press one half mini marshmallow cut-side down onto each cookie to make a tail. Cool the cookies completely on the baking sheets.
Serve and enjoy!
