Cookie Baking Tips for Easter Bunny Print Cookies
- Homemade versus Store-bought: If you do not prefer store-bought or packaged sugar cookies, you can use your favorite recipe and bake your own cookies ahead of time.
- Any Frosting Works:. Whether it is from the store or made at home, either option will work perfectly to help decorate these sugary Easter cookies.
- Be Generous with the Icing: When icing the cookies, make sure to spread a relatively thick layer on them. This will allow you to press the candy wafer and the chocolate chips into it so they stay in place.

Decorating Tips for Easy Bunny Print Cookies
- Any type of shredded coconut can be used for this recipe. Sweetened or unsweetened, whichever you prefer!
- I suggest you should make three different coconut batter colors for these bunny print cookies, but you can use as many or as few colors as you wish. Use about ½ cup coconut for each batter mixture. Any less makes it hard to “dip” the cookie.
- I prefer using vanilla frosting for these cookies, but please experiment with different frosting flavors! You can also try different colored frosting.

How to Store Easter Bunny Print Cookies
Sugar cookies are a popular treat with my family, so I know these Easter bunny print cookies will be gobbled up quickly! If, by chance, they are not, I can store them so we can eat them on another day.
Unfortunately, these cute Easter cookies can’t be put in the fridge or freezer because of the shredded coconuts. The moister will affect their texture.
What you can do to keep them fresh is to store these cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days. If left out any longer, these cookies will lose moisture and become hard and dry.
FAQ’s
Sure! If you don’t have candy melt wafers on hand, other white chocolate or candy options can work as a substitute.
