Step-by-Step Instructions for M&M Bunny Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the lightly beaten egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms.
  6. Scoop out dough balls of about 2-3 tablespoons each and place them spaced about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
  8. As soon as they come out of the oven, gently press pastel M&Ms into the warm cookies.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
