7. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 17 minutes.

8. If you apply frosting wait for the bunnies to cool before adding it.

Important Recipe Notes

Adding Butter: When adding the melted butter, make sure to stop before the edge of the puff pastry. This small section without butter will allow the pastry to stick together and stay closed.

Icing: Let the bunnies cool completely before adding the icing or it will melt. The icing is meant to look like the bunny’s tail, but feel free to add icing on the entire dessert.

Cinnamon and Sugar: Be generous with the cinnamon and sugar to ensure you get the delicious taste we all desire.
