Easter Eggs with a Bunny in the Center

Easter brings a lot of joy when it finally arrives. I have fond memories of new clothes, new shoes, and hunting for Easter eggs in the backyard. As a child, I was always fascinated by the beautifully decorated sugar eggs that held a tiny scene inside, usually of bunnies and flowers. How did that bunny get in there? Yeah, Easter is not really about rabbits and decorated eggs, but they do symbolize the true meaning of the season...abundant life and new beginnings made possible by God’s unimaginable love. And cookies in the shape of bunnies and eggs and flowers are such fun to decorate in celebration of this wonderful holiday.

“Easter is the only time when it’s perfectly safe to put all of your eggs in one basket.” Evan Esar

Last year I packaged quite a few of these Easter bunnies in small, clear bags secured with twist ties. I gave one to a friend for her 2-year old son. By the time she got home from work, it was too late for the little boy to eat the cookie because it was almost his bedtime. So he took the little packaged bunny to bed with him and slept with it on his chest, being careful not to roll over on it in the night!  In the morning, he was finally allowed to eat his new “friend” and he pronounced it “lishus.”

  • “These bunnies are so darling. And they taste terrific.”
  • “I’m always delighted to receive your cookies and the bunnies and eggs you made for Easter are so cute.”
  • “I wasn’t sure I should eat it, so I took a picture and then I ate it!”

 

Cookie specifics

What I’ve learned...

These cookies were made with the best ingredients I could find and baked in a small batch of two dozen. I’ve experimented with less expensive ingredients, but have come to the conclusion that flavor is best when I use the best. Why spend all this time baking and decorating if taste and texture are just so-so? Decorating the cookies takes time, but it’s an enjoyable process for me and I know that those who receive them appreciate that. Life is just better when you can share something you love with someone you love. Don’t you agree?
