Sailor Moon and Chibiusa’s Bunny Sugar Cookies

Oven350°F
Time9-11 minutes

Ingredients

Directions

Make the dough

  1. Beat the butter and sugar on medium‑high speed until the sugar is dissolved and creamy.

  2. Add the eggs and flavored extract to the butter and beat until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  3. In a small glass dish, dissolve the baking soda in the milk and add to the mixture, beating until combined.

  4. Finally, add the salt and the flour 1 cup at a time and mix until a stiff dough forms.

Color and stack

  1. Divide the dough into 6 or 7 equal sized balls.

  2. Dye each ball the individual color using either your mixer or your hands (see notes for additional tips).

  3. Starting with the red, roll each individual color into a rectangular shape, about 12 inches long.

  4. Roll the rectangle between two pieces of parchment paper.

  5. Lightly dust with powdered sugar if needed to prevent sticking.

  6. Place the first rectangle on a piece of parchment paper.

  7. Stack each color on top of the other.

  8. Once all the colors are stacked, cover with a second piece of parchment paper.

  9. Roll out the cookie dough again until it’s about ¼ – ½ inch thick; it should expand quite a bit.

  10. Trim off the excess sides.

  11. Cut the dough into two halves.

  12. Roll each half tightly into a log, about 9-10 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter at the thickest point.

  13. Wrap each log with plastic wrap and place seam side down.

  14. Chill for at least 30 minutes.

Bake and serve

  1. Pre‑heat oven to 350°F.

  2. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.

  3. Remove the dough from the fridge.

  4. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into ½ inch wide slices.

  5. If the slices are misshaped, gently roll between your hands to shape into a circle.

  6. Place the slices about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.

  7. Bake at 350°F for 9-11 minutes, just until the bottoms turn slightly brown.

  8. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Unsalted butter
Creams with sugar to trap air, giving the cookies a tender, rich texture.
Granulated sugar
Creams with butter for a light structure and adds sweetness and gentle browning.
Eggs
Bind the dough and add structure and richness as they set in the oven.
All-purpose flour
Provides the main structure that holds the stiff dough and its shape.
Baking soda
Reacts with the dough to help it rise and promote browning.
Milk
Adds moisture and helps dissolve the baking soda evenly through the dough.

The step that matters

Rolling and chilling the log. The dough must be rolled tightly and chilled firmly so the stacked colors stay sharp and the slices hold their shape while baking.
