Cream the Butter & Sugar – In a mixer, beat together the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until fully combined.
Combine the Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, blending until fully incorporated.
Shape the Bunny Paws –
Roll a tablespoon-sized dough ball for the “foot.”
Roll three teaspoon-sized dough balls for the “toes” and arrange them next to the foot on a baking sheet.
Gently flatten the foot slightly with your fingers for even baking.
Bake to Perfection – Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 7-8 minutes—do not overbake!
Make the Paw Prints – Right after baking, use a tablespoon to press an indent into the foot and a teaspoon to press indents into the toes. Let cookies cool completely before decorating.
Prepare the Icing – In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more milk if needed.
Decorate the Cookies – Pipe the icing into the indents using a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner snipped off.
Let the Icing Set & Enjoy – Allow icing to fully set before serving these delightful Easter treats!
