Yep. That should do it.
{You know, I thought the pink would be my favorite, but I actually ended up loving the yellow.}
Let me show you how to make them...
For the double-decker bunny cookies, you'll need:
- sugar cookies (pick any flavor cut-out here) in scalloped ovals and tiny bunny faces
- royal icing, divided and tinted with AmeriColor Lemon Yellow, Electric Pink, Regal Purple, Bright White, and Super Black
- couplers and tips: #3, #1
- disposable icing bags
- squeeze bottles
- toothpicks
- small paintbrush
- small ramekins
- meringue powder
- basket-style coffee filter
- sparking or sanding sugar: yellow, pink and purple
{PS...I'm officially obsessed with this scalloped oval. PPS...anyone else watch Fashion Police? Now I can't say "I'm obsessed" with something without thinking of Kelly Osbourne.}
Thin the yellow, pink, purple and white icings with water, a bit at a time, stirring with a silicone spatula, until it is the consistency of a thick syrup. You'll want to drop a "ribbon" of icing back into the bowl and have it disappear in a count of "one thousand one, one thousand two." Four is too thick, one is too thin. Count of 2-3 is good. Cover with a damp dishcloth and let sit for several minutes.
Stir gently with a silicone spatula to pop and large air bubbles that have formed. Pour into squeeze bottles as needed.
Fill in the bunny faces. Let the cookies dry uncovered 6-8 hours or overnight.
Use a #1 tip to pipe eyes on the bunny faces in black. Add a nose in an alternating color.
What are you baking this Easter?
OMG they're so cute!! Happy Easter
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. These are super adorable! I love your new diet plan on double-decker cookies! And I love that yellow one the most too. These are too cute.
ReplyDeleteI thin I might die from how cute these are! Except then I wouldn't be able to make them... Ahh how I love Easter treats!
ReplyDeleteCome on!! I wish I had time to prepare everything you are posting these days! They look so lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and lovely! No Easter cookies for me - I couldn't resist making Game of Thrones treats this week for the premiere! These make me want to make some cute things though :)
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely adorable! LOVE these cookies!
ReplyDeleteI am beside myself with how cute these are Bridget! Adorable. And you just save the oops ones for me okay? ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero. Genius. Just Genius! Your site is one of my favorites! Every creation is so beautiful! (I made the birthday cake Oreo brownies 2 times so far and man, are they heaven!) Can't wait to see what you create next!
ReplyDeleteThose glitter bunnies are precious!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I really love these, and what a great diet plan;p
ReplyDeleteSo very cute! I am a Peeps lovah!
ReplyDeleteWow! So cute! How'd you get that pretty blue? Love, love, LOVE what you do!
ReplyDeleteLiz...it's actually purple. It does read a little blue on the screen, though.
DeleteAdorable cookies as usual! Love the double deckers. Just curious - is there a reason to apply the sprinkles with water/meringue instead of directly onto the icing?
ReplyDeleteHi Leah...
DeleteI think sometimes when you apply sugars and sprinkles to wet icing, the icing can get "dented" looking. Also, applying it on dry icing just cuts down on the mess. BUT, if it is easier, by all means, apply it on the wet icing. Do what works for you. :)
These are just beautiful! The pink ones are perfect! :o)
ReplyDeleteI love any cookie with dots!! They are great. You are so talented!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteawww these are so, so cute!! You have some of the greatest ideas !! Cute! Cute! Thanks for sharing!!

ReplyDeleteYou're really talented!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't pick a favorite color, they're all so cute! The polka dots are awesome! I'd have been happy with just that much :)
ReplyDeleteThat you so much for your great site. I recently tried out royal icing and decorating rolled cookies for the first time. Your recipes and tip were really helpful. Question about the sugar. I just sprinkled the sugar onto the wet flood icing. It seemed to turn out ok. What is the benefit to the sugaring method in this post? Thanks! Again, great site. So helpful and cute!!! Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteHey Donna!
Deleteread up further in the comments...someone had the same question. :)
These are PERFECT!!! Love the sparkle, love the double deckerness...is that a word? Regardless, these are the cutest Easter cookies I've seen!!
ReplyDeleteBridget these are just adorable!! Happy Easter Friend!
ReplyDeleteI am constantly amazed at your adorable recipes and your baking skills - this post is no exception! Your bunnies and eggs are very pretty and you make all that hard work look easy!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies are always adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Bridget!!! Every time you take it to another level of cuteness! Just precious.
ReplyDeleteI am baking English Toffee. It is a recipe that used to be made at Saks Fifth Avenue that I got from an old boy friend's mom. Score.
ReplyDeleteSeriously Bridget, These are so darn CUTE, I can hardly stand to look at them! DOUBLE-DECKER DARLING!
ReplyDeleteThese are exquisite!
ReplyDeleteBridget, these are so amazingly adorable, I am going to have to try these. You make the best cookies! I have altered my royal icing recipe to yours and I am loving the result!
ReplyDeleteBridget, that are ridiculously cute! LOVE the 3-D effect!
ReplyDeleteomg, I've been so drawn in by these, I'm neglecting my morning! These are so cute!!! Now I have to make decisions on which Easter goodness to make. I was going to make decorated sugar eggs, but now I'm thinking maybe these. We'll also make a bunny cake :) thx!!
ReplyDeleteI love these cookies! I am new to decorating and will learn so much from your site. Here was my first try at easter basket cookies. Just made another batch today!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.abakershouse.com/2012/03/easter-basket-cookies.html
I think these stacked cookies have to be my favorites!!! I am in love with them!
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dots on the base cookies and the peep style bunnies are so cute.
ReplyDeleteYou should make "DIsney's TAngled" cookies. 1st off: cuz its the best disney movie ever and 2nd: Im sure youd make them super cool
ReplyDeleteI'm all about the double decker cookies! I do them quite often, but they don't look as lovely as yours. The bunnies are SUPER cute! Happy Easter!

ReplyDeleteAdorable! It's amazing what beauty you can create with two simple cookies! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget—
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Easter! I’ve tried several times to outline a scalloped cookie and it just doesn’t look as neat and clean as your cookies. Would you consider doing a video tutorial sometime on scallop outlining? Thanks much for your detailed instructions about cookie decorating. Thanks too for the inspiration. Joan
So sweet. Love the polka dots. I too would like to see how you outline the scallops!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I am huge fan of your site. This might be a crazy question but where did you get the bunny mini cutter and the heart mini cutter for your double decker cookies. I am going through a mini kick right now and love your idea on the double stack! Thanks for any help on this one.
ReplyDeleteHi LV! Honestly, I'm not sure. I've been collecting cutter for years and I've had both of those for ages. I'm sorry!
DeleteI'm late on checking in with you so I missed these darling cookies! Girl, I'm glad I'm not the only one who overfloods cookies...I did it again this morning and I KNOW BETTER! I pinned a photo from this post, so I'll remember to make these next year...and buy both cutters before then, too.
ReplyDeleteThese look so pretty that they look almost too good to eat. Wow! What an awesome recipe. Not to hard, with a good looking outcome... I'm so there.
ReplyDeleteThank you SO MUCH for posting this. You're talking Easter for these double-deckers, but I can see serving these delightful treats for a baby shower, easy!
I have GOT to follow you on Google+. Must run...
Gotta get over there to set it up!
These are some of the most precious cookies that I've ever soon! I love all of your creativity!
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely ADORABLE these are!! I love the double decker cookie idea. the more cookie, the better!
ReplyDeleteHi, Bridget - I'm visiting for the first time...great site...loving these stacked Easter cookies, and I would like to try my hand at them. I love everything about their appearance...ha ha ha...I'm sure they're delicious, too...and I am wondering if you can remember which cutout sugar cookie recipe you used? Thanks in advance!
