Here comes Peter CottonTail . . .

....hoppin' down the bunny trail,
hippity, hoppity,
Easter's on its way!

I take no credit for this design; it comes straight out of last year's Williams-Sonoma catalog. (Well, their bunnies were cuter.)

They gave me an excuse to break out the sanding sugar...and I like a cookie with sanding sugar. And, really, something about SPRING just screams sanding sugar to me. You, too?

Here's how I add sanding sugar once a cookie is complete:

• Let the cookies dry overnight.

• Mix together equal amounts of meringue powder and water, just stir it together with a spoon. (I used 1/2 tsp. each here.)

• Using a small (food-only) paintbrush, brush the mixture along the edge and tail of the bunnies.

• Sprinkle on the sanding sugar. Shake off the excess. (I use a coffee filter to catch the excess and funnel it back into the container. Read more about how I set up a "sanding sugar station" here.)

That's it!
