Easter Bunny Cookie Pops
- 1 baking powder level tsp
- 2 cups plain flour
- 5/8 cup caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg + 1 egg white
- 9/16 cup butter cold, diced
- 2 1/16 cups icing sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- red food colouring
- 4 3/4 tablespoons dark chocolate broken into pieces
- 24 lollipop sticks, suitable for baking
- In a bowl, mix the baking powder and flour. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, egg, butter and a pinch of salt. Knead with the dough hook of a mixer, then with the hands, until smooth. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. From a piece of paper, draw and cut out a 2.5 x 1.5 inch rabbit snout template. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Using the template, cut out 24 rabbit snouts, re-rolling the dough as necessary.
- Push a lollipop stick into each and place on the baking sheets, and bake for 8-9 mins, until golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
- Mix the powdered sugar, egg white and lemon juice until smooth. Spread three-quarters of the icing over the cake pops, leaving a space at the top of each for a nose. Allow to dry for 30 mins.
- Color the remaining icing with food coloring and place a blob on each cake pop as a nose. Allow to dry. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Make a funnel out of parchment paper and cut off a tiny corner. Spoon in the chocolate and pipe a mouth, teeth and whiskers on each cake pop. Allow to dry and serve.
