Method

1. Make your favourite cookies using your own recipe and divide the dough into four portions. Colour each dough portion with the white icing colour, then add to each one of the portions a colour: either pink, violet, green or blue. Make sure to work on one colour at a time. 

2. Break off a piece of dough to make a ball and roll the ball into a rope like shape directly onto an un-greased cookie sheet. The aim is to have a 20cm rope, that's wider in the centre and tapers off towards the edges. 

3. Pick up both ends of one of the ropes, leaving the wider centre on the cookie sheet and twist the rope once before laying the ends up to form bunny ears. 

4. Shape another little ball of the same colour dough and roll it in sprinkles, to place in the centre of the cookie base. Repeat this process with the remaining dough, forming three bunny cookies of each colour. 

5. Bake the cookies in the centre of a 170ºC oven until they're firm and just starting to brown (10 to 14 minutes). Cool them on a tray for a few minutes and then gently loosen them from the cookie sheet to serve.
