How To Make Meringue Bunny Cookies

Ingredients

Meringue Powder

Disposable decorating bag

Decorating tip (only one is necessary, or use the decorating bag/tip bundle)

Parchment Paper

Baking Sheet

Food Coloring

Food Coloring Marker

Bunny template

Directions

  1. A bunny template is needed (unless there is a very good free hand artist in the house)! Search the internet and use “bunny silhouette clipart” as the search term.
  2. Choose the bunny clipart. Copy and paste to your desktop to print. 
  3. Print the bunny clipart and then cut out the bunny to use as a template.
  4. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Use the food coloring maker to trace the bunny. Repeat.
  6. Leave 1-2 inches between each bunny.bunny outline on baking sheet
  7. I do not recommend using magic marker as the marker may leave a residue on the bottom of the bunnies.
  8. Prepare the meringue by following the directions to make the Meringue Bunnie Butts.
  9. If desired, split the meringue into sections to add food color.
  10. Prepare the disposable decorating bag with the decorating tip. I like the star tip to make Meringue Bunny Cookies.decorating bag and star tip
  11. Add the meringue to the bag and gather the bag at the top removing any extra air.
  12. Now fill in each bunny with the meringue.
  13. There is no right or wrong way to fill in aka making the meringue bunny. A few test bunnies may be necessary to get the feel of how much meringue to use and how you want the bunny.

  14. TIP! Remember that meringue is what you see is what you get. The cookie will not spread when baking. 
  15. Bake at 250 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Do not overcook as the edges of the cookie will become slightly brown.
  16. Cool.
  17. Store in an airtight container.
  18. Add the Meringue Bunnie Butts with icing!
