Then use cookie cutters to cut out rabbit-shaped cookies. I also roll out the leftover dough and cut out other shapes for variety. Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 180°C for 10–12 minutes until lightly browned. Then cool completely on the baking sheet.

For decoration I use ready-made glaze. Warm it gently in tepid water, spoon it into a small bag and pipe patterns freely. Leave for half an hour until the glaze sets.
