Cool on wire racks.

Tips:

  • For a softer dough, use warm milk instead of cold milk.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is no longer sticky.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
  • To make the bunny ears, cut two small triangles out of the dough. Then, make a small slit in the center of each triangle and insert a chocolate chip.
  • Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the rolls.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let the rolls cool slightly before serving.

Conclusion:

These Easter Bunny Rolls are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for Easter brunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, or nuts.
