Cake thirty-seven Easter baking: Smart Bunnies

Get inspired

Simple ingredients - butter, flour, sugar eggs and raisins - easy to make: simply delicious! 
It’s actually surprising how many different cakes and cookies you can make with the same ingredients.  
I’m sure that if you try them they’ll be among your favourite cookies.

100g butter
75g sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1 egg
225g flour
1/2 tsp mixed spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon 
80g raisins, plus 12 extra for eyes
2 tbsp milk

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, until the egg and whisk again. Add the flour, spices and raisins  and mix well. Lightly knead, then roll out to a 5mm thickness. Use bunny cutters to press out about 12 cookies, rerolling the dough if necessary. 
Line 2 baking trays with baking paper, arrange the cookies there and brush with milk. Make eyes with extra raisins and sprinkle over the extra sugar. Bake at 200° C for 12-15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes until transferring to a wire rack to cool. Tie ribbons around the necks of bunnies.
