9 tablespoons unsalted butter chopped, at room temperature
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 large egg lightly beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup self raising flour
1/3 cup custard powder such as Bird's
1/4 cup shredded coconut
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar sifted
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1 tablespoon butter melted
3 drops pink food coloring

Directions

1

In a small bowl, using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg. Sift flours and custard powder together. Fold into the creamed mixture along with coconut and vanilla to form a dough.
2

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. Roll out dough between two sheets of parchment paper until 1/8 inch thick. Chill for 30 mins.
3

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a bunny-shaped cookie cutter to cut the dough. Arrange cookies on trays and bake for 12-15 mins. Cool on trays for 5 mins, then transfer to wire racks.

To make icing, combine powdered sugar, milk, melted butter and food coloring and mix until smooth. Spread icing over cooled cookies. Add a small ball of cotton candy for a tail.
