# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These cookies stay incredibly soft for days thanks to the perfect butter to sugar ratio
  • Kids go absolutely wild for the colorful bunny faces and decorating becomes an instant family activity
02 -
  • Overbaking is the enemy so pull them out when edges look set and centers seem slightly too soft
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes prevents them from spreading too thin and makes them extra chewy
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform size so they all bake at the same rate
  • Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning
