Easter Bunny Tail Cookies
Easter is one of my favorite holidays for baking. There are so many fun and delicious treats to make that are so adorable. Plus, my kids love to help me cook in the kitchen when they’re making something fun. That’s where these cute Easter bunny tail cookies come in. The recipe is so easy and the kids think it’s so funny to eat cookies that look like little tails. Not only are these a fun treat but they can also be used to give as Easter gifts for friends and neighbors.
I call these cookies “Bunny Tails” because they are round and fluffy. I’ve also seen them called “Snow Ball Cookies” in the winter and “Cloud Cakes” in the summer, so don’t let a certain holiday or season keep you from enjoying them year-round!
How To Make Bunny Tail Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
- Mix together the sugar, butter and vanilla
- Next, blend in the flour and salt
- Stir in the chopped nuts
- Using your hands, roll the dough into 1 inch balls
- Place the balls of dough on a non-greased cookie sheet
- Bake for 10-12 minutes
- While the cookies are still warm, roll each ball in powdered sugar
- Allow them to cool before serving

We usually make snowball cookies during the holidays, but I love the idea of using them for bunnies at Easter (maybe it’s just that I love eating them, so it’s always good to have a second opportunity) Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
