Cool on wire racks.
Tips:
- Use a warm, draft-free place for the dough to rise.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand for 8-10 minutes.
- Make sure the butter is very cold before cutting it into the flour mixture. This will help create flaky layers in the dough.
- Don't overwork the dough, or it will become tough.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it is no longer sticky.
- When shaping the rolls, be sure to pinch the edges together tightly so they don't come apart during baking.
- Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking. This will help them brown and give them a shiny crust.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Easter Bunny Rolls are a fun and festive way to celebrate Easter. They are also a delicious and easy-to-make treat that the whole family will enjoy. With a little planning and effort, you can create these adorable rolls that will be the hit of your Easter brunch or dinner.
