Decorating Tutorial: Easy Marshmallow Easter Bunny Sugar Cookies

Directions

• 1

  First, make Ann Clark's Sugar Cookie recipe.

• 2

  Next, make your own sanding sugar, using colors that you feel are appropriate. For a marshmallow bunny look, we like pink, yellow, and blue.

• 3

  Next, make a batch of royal icing. Add food coloring to the royal icing--in the video below, we used Bubblegum Pink food coloring.

• 4

  With a firmer royal icing, pipe around the outlines of your bunny. The icing should be roughly the consistency of toothpaste. We found it easiest to do the bunny in three sections.

• 5

  Next, add water to your royal icing one teaspoon at a time until it is about the thickness and viscosity of shampoo.

• 6

  Use the thinner royal icing to flood inside the boundaries you created with the first batch of royal icing. To ensure an even flood, use a toothpick to move the icing around until the entire cookie surface is covered.

• 7

  While the flooded area of the cookie is still wet, lightly sprinkle your colored sanding sugar on the cookie until desired texture is reached.

• 8

  Using a toothpick, make three indentations--two eyes and one nose

• 9

  Using black royal icing and a fine-tipped piping bag, fill the nose and eye indentations you just made.
