    Recipe Introduction


    Use your favorite bunny cookie cutter to make these charming cookies, or use the
    pattern you cut out of cardboard.

    List of Ingredients




    Bunny Cookies


    3 cups all purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
    1/2 cup sugar
    ·1 egg
    1/2 cup molasses
    1-1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar

    Recipe




    Sift together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt onto waxed paper.

    Beat together shortening, sugar and egg in large bowl with electric mixer until
    fluffy, for about 3 minutes. Beat in the molasses and cider vinegar. Stir in flour
    mixture until blended and smooth. Gather dough into ball; wrap and chill for several
    hours.


    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Divide dough in half. Roll out half of the dough with
    lightly floured surface to generous 1/8-inch thickness. Keep remainder of dough
    refrigerated while working with first half.


    To use a bunny pattern, draw a pattern onto a piece of cardboard. Make sure ears
    are attached to the head. Cut out pattern. Place pattern on dough and trace with
    a toothpick. Cut out cookies. Place 1 inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets.
    Re-roll scraps, using up all the dough. Repeat with remaining dough.


    Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 5-7 minutes or until firm. Transfer to wire
    rack to cool completely. Step 6 If you wish to decorate cookies, prepare Decorator
    Icing, tinting portions if you wish. Decorate cookies as desired. Let cookies stand
    until icing is firm. Store in airtight container between sheets of waxed paper for
    up to 2 weeks.


    Decorator Icing
    Prepare one recipe Royal Icing, using packaged meringue powder and following the
    directions on the package. Dried meringue powder is best for uncooked frostings
    due to the increased concern about the presence of salmonella bacteria in raw eggs.
    Meringue powder is available in stores where decorating and baking supplies are
    sold.
