Number of Servings: 48

Ingredients

    1 cup heart-healthy margarine
    1 1/2 cups sugar (or sugar substitute)
    1/2 cup egg beaters
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon lemon extract
    2 cups whole-wheat flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 pinch salt

    Rabbit cookie cutter

    4 ounces vanilla frosting

Directions

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and lemon extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually blend into the creamed mixture to form a soft dough. Cover or wrap dough, and refrigerate overnight.

2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). On a floured surface, roll the dough out 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes using a rabbit cookie cutter. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

3. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.

4. Place frosting in a sandwich bag with one corner snipped off or a pastry bag with a fine tip. Pipe a bunny face and some paws on each cookie.

Makes 48 servings (1 serving = 1 cookie).

    I used real eggs. Leave the dough a little thicker and the cookies are chewy. Roll the dough a little thinner and the cookies are crisp. - 3/31/20

    Bad
    making this one this afternoon! I made these and upon looking at the recipe it is crap. Ingredient list does not match instructions; egg beaters vs beat in the eggs; margarine vs. cream butter and sugar. - 3/30/20

    For those of us who don't choose to observe Easter/Ishtar bunnies & fertility symbols - this still looks like a decent sugar cookie recipe to use making other cookie shapes!! - 4/22/15
