An Easter Treat - Matcha Bunny Cookies

 Easter is finally here and we are looking forward to a lovely sunny long weekend.

Matcha and chocolate go well together and as you know, I love my matcha.

These bunny cookies are perfect with a cup of tea or you can use them as decorations for cupcakes, easter cakes etc.

They also make lovely gifts and I have packaged mine with some small easter eggs.

Instructions
    
    In a small saucepan heat the butter over medium heat until dark golden brown (there should be specks of brown milk solids at the bottom of the pan).

Once the dough is chilled,place between two sheets of baking paper and roll flat. Using biscuit cutters cut out shapes and place carefully on a baking tray.
