Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 30 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and shredded coconut. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and powdered sugars using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gradually add the flour-coconut mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place dipped cookies on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with decorative sprinkles.
- Allow white chocolate to set at room temperature for 30-45 minutes until firm.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted – this creates the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough instead of tender.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized cookies that bake evenly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping in white chocolate to prevent melting.
- For a professional look, tap the excess white chocolate gently to create a smooth coating.
- Choose fun, colorful sprinkles to make your bunny tail cookies extra playful and appealing.
- If the white chocolate starts to harden while dipping, gently reheat in the microwave.
- Store cookies in a single layer to prevent the white chocolate from getting scratched or smudged.
