1 package (36 count) frozen yeast dinner rolls (I used Rhodes brand)
Cooking spray
18 raisins (for the nose)
plastic wrap
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Remove your rolls from the freezer and let sit on the counter until soft but still cold.
Spray your cookie sheets with cooking spray.
To assemble your bunnies take out a dough ball and slice it in half. A pizza cutter works great. These halves will become the bunnies ears.
Then pull off a tiny bit of dough from the end of each slice and roll each of them into a little ball. These will become the bunnies eyes.
Then place a whole dough ball on your cookie sheet and add on your ears and place on your eyes.
Add on your raisin nose. Just push it in as best as you can.
Repeat this process until you have assembled all your bunnies.
Spray the tops of all your bunnies with cooking spray and loosely cover them with plastic wrap.
Let them sit on the counter and rise until they about double in size. I let mine sit out for about 2 hours.
When they are ready carefully remove the plastic wrap.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Then take a small sharp knife and make the bunnies' whiskers and mouth. Also go ahead and re-push in any raisins if they seem to be falling out.
Melt your butter and then baste it on each one of your bunnies. If you choose to sprinkle on some cinnamon and sugar mix that up and add that on next. I left one pan plain and made the other pan cinnamon and sugar.
Bake them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
When they are done take a small metal spatula or knife and separate any ears or bunnies that are touching the other bunnies.
Then right away remove them from the cookie sheet and place on a wire rack to cool.
