In my mind, the Easter Bunny snacks on the most delicious and the most colourful chocolates and candies all day long. Applying logic in this case to the saying that what goes in must come out, it is safe to assume that the Easter Bunny would have rainbow-inspired poop! These Easter Bunny Poop Cookies are my interpretation of the somewhat disturbing image created now in your mind. Happy Easter!

Ingredients

1¼ cup sugar
1 cup salted butter, softened
3 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons extract (use vanilla, almond, or cotton candy extract)
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
2½ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sprinkles Easter-themed
1 cup M&Ms, Easter colours
2-3 drops pink food colouring
1/4 cup white sanding sugar
2 tablespoons pink sanding sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat liner or parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg yolks one at a time and beat into the mixture.
Next, beat in the extract, food colouring, and salt.
Add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. On low speed, allow the wet ingredients to slowly incorporate the dry.
Next, stir in the sprinkles and M&Ms.
In a small, shallow bowl, mix together the sanding sugars and set aside.
Use a small scoop to portion the cookie dough into slightly heaping tablespoons. Roll the tops of the cookie dough mounds into the sanding sugar mixture.
Place the cookie dough onto the baking sheet and bake for exactly 13-15 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are slightly browned. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
