Since Easter just came around I decided to make some cookies. First I started off with simple sugar cookies and a bunny cookie cut out. I placed them onto the cookie sheet with the little bunnies facing each other, as if they are blowing kisses to each other. You can see in the picture that I line my cookie sheets with foil, the reason why is that I’ve only got 2 cookie sheets, so I can quickly remove the foil and cookies while baking and line with new foil and put the next batch of cookies into the oven immediately after the one cooking comes out. If I had 3 cookie sheets I wouldn’t need the foil as the cookies would cool enough between coming out of the oven and me needing to get another batch ready.
Next I whipped up some cream cheese icing which was made from cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon rind, and a bit of lemon juice. I wanted this icing to be thick for my master plan. I then took a cookie and built a barrier of cream cheese icing on the flat side of the cookie around the perimeter.
I then made a raspberry coolie with frozen raspberries (I used black raspberries), lemon juice, and sugar. I just added sugar until it was at a sweetness that I liked. I blended it all in the blender until it had the texture of a smoothie. I then filled the area that was barricaded by the cream cheese icing with the raspberry cooler.
I then took another bunny cookie that was facing the opposite direction and sandwiched it on top of my first cookie.
After tasting one of the cookies it wasn’t tart enough for my tastes so I got started making lemon icing which consisted of powdered sugar and lemon juice. I iced the tops of my bunnies.
Now you might be thinking that this sounds like a tasty cookie (and it is), but quite a bit of work for a cookie. Why would anyone go through so much trouble for a cookie and the answer is in the surprise and the wonderful name that I gave my cookie. See when a person bites down into my bunny surprise cookie they can have the satisfaction of not only biting the bunny’s head off, but seeing the dark red guts on his inside! I always thought that animal shaped cookies were a bit morbid and now we can all appreciate the full morbidity of it!
