OLE FASHIONED ICED EASTER BUNNY COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. In a standing mixer cream butter, sugar, salt, and baking powder until light and fluffy.
• 2. Add vanilla and egg. Beat well until blended.
• 3. Combine the cornstarch and flour. Add half the flour and cream mix in. Then the rest of the cream and the cornstarch/flour.
• 4. Mix until well incorporated.
• 5. Divide into 2 round disk wrap and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• 6. Heat oven to 350. Roll dough out on a floured surface. I roll the cookies rather thick. I like them about 1/8 inch thick.
• 7. Cut out cookies with cookie cutter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• 8. Bake cookies for 10-14 minutes.
• 9. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack before icing.
• 10. To make the icing, in a large flat bowl mix ingredients until all the lumps are gone and well mixed. I let this sit a while to let the bubbles work their way to the top otherwise you tend to get lots of bubbles in your icing later (like 10 minutes).
• 11. Add food coloring to tint icing as desired. Make sure your bowl is large enough to dip your cookie in.
• 12. Dip cookie. Let it drain allowing excess to drip into icing bowl. I then place on a rack on a cookie sheet to cut down on the mess. I let these dry for at least one day otherwise they will stick to one another.
• 13. I make my own little bows out of a cute ribbon. I make ahead of time so they are ready to stick on. Or, you can purchase them at any craft store. I place any bows or candies on the cookies while they are just iced so they stick and stay on. These cookies bag well and look great for party favors.
