A few days ago, it was my daughter’s daycare Easter party. So, of course, I had to make something properly themed. I had limited ingredients in the house and didn’t want to run to the store. Luckily, I had everything in the kitchen needed to make these! I couldn’t resist these adorable bunny cookies! This recipe is very simple to throw together. I make these cookies for all occasions.
