Description
M&M Bunny Cookies are soft, chewy Easter cookies made with pastel milk chocolate M&Ms and decorated into adorable bunny faces. Perfect for spring parties, Easter gatherings, and festive dessert tables.
Ingredients
1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten and at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup milk chocolate pastel M&Ms
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until a dough forms.
6. Scoop dough into balls about 2–3 tablespoons each and place 2–3 inches apart on the baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges begin to lightly brown.
8. Remove from oven and immediately press nine M&Ms into each cookie to form a bunny face.
9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Shape about six cookies at a time so you can decorate while warm.
Use a 1½-inch scoop for evenly sized cookies.
Remove cookies when edges just begin to brown for a softer texture.
Chill the mixing bowl between batches if dough becomes too soft.
Makes about 21 cookies.
