These biscuits are not only tasty but also fun to make, especially if you have little ones who enjoy helping out in the kitchen. With a mix of flours and just the right amount of sweetness, these Easter bunny biscuits are bound to be a hit at any Easter gathering.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
2 tbsp corn flour
30g
2 tbsp white rice flour
30g
1 tbsp dry cocoa powder
16g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 tbsp maple syrup
16g
1 tbsp vanilla extract
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
4. Sift Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose white wheat flour, corn flour, and white rice flour to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to bring the dough together towards the end.
6. Add Cocoa Powder Mixture:
Divide the dough into two equal parts. To one portion, add the dry cocoa powder and brown sugar. Knead until the cocoa powder and sugar are fully incorporated, producing a chocolate dough. Now, you have one plain dough and one chocolate dough.
7. Shape the Biscuits:
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out each dough to about 1/4-inch (6mm) thickness. Using bunny-shaped cookie cutters, cut out shapes from the dough. Combine scraps and roll out again until all the dough is used.
8. Decorate (optional):
If you like, you can use a toothpick to add facial features to the bunnies, or use small candies or sprinkles for eyes and noses before baking.
9. Bake the Biscuits:
Place the bunny-shaped dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
10. Cool the Biscuits:
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the biscuits to wire racks to cool completely.
11. Serve and Enjoy:
Once fully cooled, enjoy your festive Easter Bunny Biscuits with a cup of tea or share them with family and friends.

Tips:

- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

- Use a bunny-shaped cookie cutter for an added festive touch.

- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before rolling it out to make it easier to handle.

- For an extra chocolatey flavor, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the biscuits after they have cooled.

- If you want to add some color, consider decorating the biscuits with icing or edible glitter.

- Store the biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.

Baking these Easter bunny biscuits is a delightful and rewarding activity that brings festive cheer to your Easter celebrations. Not only are they fun to make, but they also taste delicious, combining the buttery richness with subtle hints of vanilla and cocoa. So gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and get ready to make some delightful biscuits that will impress family and friends alike!
