Rabbit Cookies with Chevron Ears and Video
I miss the boat on Easter cookies this year. I know it has come and gone and I didn’t make one single rabbit cookie. Or did I? I did make rabbit cookies and I had every intention to share them with you but, time flies and well, I missed the boat. Who says I can’t share them with you today? Not me! I even made royal icing transfers, a template, and a video in hopes you would forgive me for posting them sooner. I promise next year, I will hop to it and get it done before the big day.
I have to admit I love the ears. Simple royal icing transfers, an airbrush gun, and a stencil from The Cookie Countess made some super cute bunny ears. Not to mention it was a lot of fun making them! Here let me show you.
A Love Story for Rabbit Cookies and Royal Icing Transfers:
I got a new computer and it has a lot of different ways to make videos. I really like it and hope to learn how to use all the fancy bells and whistles. The one thing I really like so far is the movie maker. It makes putting together videos super easy and I hope I can make more step by step videos for you. I know this Love Story is short but, I wanted you to see how to drop royal icing transfers onto a cookie with wet icing. I know some of you have had some questions and hope this help show how easy RI Transfers are to use.
Supplies for Rabbit Cookies:
White 15 Second Icing
Pink 15 Second Icing
Bunny Ear Template
Heart Template for Nose
Small Royal Icing Eye Templates
Medium and Large Royal Icing Eye Template
Airbrush Gun
Stencil from The Cookie Countess or any stencil you wish to use
First of all, let me say stenciling RI Transfers is a great way you use an airbrush gun. It is great for beginners because you can spray the transfers while they are on the parchment paper without the worry of unwanted spray landing on your cookie. Normally I would cover the other transfers with plastic wrap to avoid random spray from hitting the other transfers but you can use almost anything like strips of paper. Let’s start with the chevron stencil so our cute little rabbit cookies will be hip and trendy.
- Cover the transfers you don’t want sprayed with plastic wrap, cling wrap or strips of paper.
- Then, place the stencil on the transfer you want to spray.
- Use some magnets to hold the stencil in place. Thanks Callye of Sweet Sugar Belle and Kim of Kookie Kreations by Kim for sharing the how to stencil with magnets tip with us. It is a brilliant way to hold a stencil in place.
- Now, lightly spray the RI transfers by adding one or two drops of airbrush color to the cup on the airbrush gun.
Like I mentioned before, I am getting addicted to airbrushing with stencils. There are so many patterns to choose from and it is a fast way to add character and drama to cookies, cakes, and RI Transfers. If you want to find a stencil or 50 for your cookies, check out The Cookie Countess. Her shop is full of awesome designs and I receive my orders in a few short days. I need to come up with a cool way to organize them because my collection is multiplying like rabbits. I love it!
I know it is too late for Easter but, who says you need a holiday to make rabbit cookies? Here are some of my favorite and I had to share them with you. Follow the links for some super cute rabbit food.

I always, always, always forget about the beauty of royal icing transfers. (Thanks for the shout out, my friend.)
I love every thing you do Jill! You are an incredible decorator!
Alas, I’m afraid my airbrush & I might be divorcing. Either that, or we need couples counseling, Lisa.
These are ADORABLE!
Don’t divorce yet!!!! I am going to start making a lot of airbrush videos. I think it will be the perfect couples counseling for you. Let me know if there is anything specific you want to know. If I don’t know the answer, I will find it! Hehehehe
Super cute!! Pinning!
Thanks Glory!! You made my day!
Love the different patterns on the ears!
Thanks Janie. I am becoming a stenciling machine!
You can Use a file box to store your stencils? Will keep them flat and You can label to find easily 🙂
Great idea Eli. I really need one BAD! lol
So stinkin’ cute Lisa! Thanks for the link love :). I love your video. I miss making videos but I don’t miss the nasty comments. That’s why I turned off all my comments. Ha ha! I want to get back to making some more vids too. If I can help you in any way please let me know.
Awe! Thanks Melissa. You are so super sweet! I hope you do make more videos. I love watching how people make things.
Love ya girl!!
Love ya too!!
Lisa, these are so stinkin’ adorable! I love the movie you made. 🙂 Can’t wait for more of them from you. Also, I love that radial chevron stencil you used! I gotta pick up one of those. Thanks for linking up my moss Easter bunnies!
I LOVE your bunnies Mike! Seriously, my favorite bunny cookies EVER!!
I am so glad you shared your bunnies with their cute, bright ears! Love them:) You are a pro with the video production, Lisa!
Thanks Sue but I am not a pro! The computer did all the work. LOL 🙂
I love these! I want to try them myself, but the bunny ear template link takes me to a bunny shape – not ears. Could you check on that, please? I could probably do it without a template, but it sure is nice to have one! You are wonderful!
Hi Julie!
LOL I didn’t realize I had attached the wrong template. I will grab my old computer and add the correct ones in the morning. Thanks for letting me know! 🙂
These are adorable. I am just starting to plan out my Easter cookies and these are definitely giving me some inspiration. And a desire to purchase airbrushing equipment 🙂
I found your site a few weeks ago and have spent HOURS sifting through everything. Thanks for all the inspiration, tips and tricks.
Hi Lisa-
Love this but, the bunny ear template takes me to a bunny. Can you please send me or post the bunny ear template? Also, what size bunny cookie is this? Thanks again! I’m getting ready to start my easter samples….
