Happy Easter!

We leave cookies for Santa... why not for the Easter bunny too?
Ingredients:

1 stick butter/margarine, slightly melted (equals 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup date sugar (really, this is ground up dates)
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 Tbsp. milk
1 & 1/2 cups flour
 1/2 tsp. baking powder
Directions:
Mix together the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and milk until creamy. Then add the flour and baking powder until a dough forms. (Keep in mind that these are not as sweet as "regular" sugar cookies, and will be a bit brown in color because of the date sugar). Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until about 1/4 of an inch thick. Use whatever cookie cutters you have on hand. Place shapes on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Happy Easter!
Bake at 375 degrees F. for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool. 

Today I used my buttercream icing recipe found on this blog.
