Because these cookies are made from a cake mix, they're extremely soft and are super easy to make. They cook very quickly and would be fun to make with kids if you don't care too much about the appearance of the cookie. Personally, I did at first, then I decided I just wanted to finish the second batch and ended up making cookies that looked more like bears than bunnies. But that's beside the point. Quite simply, these are easy and require little effort, so have fun with them.
Ingredients
1 package of yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup of water
Red food coloring (or whatever color you prefer)
Chocolate chips
Instructions
Combine the cake mix (just the powder), eggs, and water in a large bowl. You could do it the complicated way and beat on low speed for thirty seconds, then on medium for two minutes, or you could do what I do and mix it with a whisk until everything is completely mixed together.
Set aside one cup of the batter, then add red food coloring to the remaining batter in the large bowl. Since this is supposed to be an Easter recipe, you can make the bunnies kind of pink. Another thing that I wish I'd done is make multiple colors of bunnies, all in pastels of course. Whatever color you'd like your bunnies to be, add that to the batter now.
Cut a hole (about one fourth of an inch) in the corner of two plastic bags, a sandwich bag is big enough, don't worry. Fill the bags with the batter and grease two baking sheets. Pipe an oval of color for the face, as well as two oval for the ears. Fill in the ears with uncolored batter, and make the cheeks as well. Then fill in any gaps with colored batter. Press the chocolate chips into the batter for eyes and a nose (you can also use the bottoms of gumdrops for the noses).
Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for four to six minutes, allow to cool for one to two minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Enjoy!!
