Description

Deliciously soft and crispy-edged cookies shaped like bunnies, perfect for spring celebrations.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 and 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet and milk)
  • Optional: pastel sprinkles, white chocolate, pink sugar pearls

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time and add vanilla, scraping the bowl to combine.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in chocolate chips.
  7. Chill the dough for 45 to 60 minutes.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/3 inch thick and cut into bunny shapes, pressing mini chips for eyes.
  9. Transfer to the baking sheets and chill for an additional 15 minutes.
  10. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are soft.
  11. Let cookies rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Add sprinkles for noses while still warm.
  12. Store airtight for up to 4 days or freeze for a month.

Notes

For gluten-free, use a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, substitute with plant-based butter and chocolate chips.
