Peeking Easter Bunny Cookie Cupcakes

Ingredients:

for the cookies:
sugar cookie dough
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon water
pink food gel dye
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder, plus a few drops of water

cupcake ingredients
12 cupcakes (I used fresh strawberry cupcakes)
buttercream
green gel dye

you’ll need:
12 small (2-inch) terra cotta pots
sugar flowers and leaves

Instructions:

Use any sugar cookie recipe and cut out bunny shapes, bake cookies and let cool.

Combine the powdered sugar and water, adding a touch of pink gel dye to get a soft pink. Use a clean pastry paintbrush and paint the bunny ears.

For the eyes stir together the cocoa powder and water and paint eyes. Set aside the bunny faces to dry.

Tint the buttercream with green food gel dye and frost the cupcakes to look like grass. Place into the terra cotta pots and decorate with sugar flowers and leaves to serve.

Cut a slit into the top of the cupcakes and slide in the bunny cookie.
