Instructions to Make Bunny Tails
Making this Easter Bunny Tails recipe takes less than ten minutes. It’s as easy as cutting out 1-inch rounds from the biscuit dough, cooking them in veggie oil, then rolling them in a sweetened glaze and coconut shreds.
Tips for Making Easter Bunny Tails
If you don’t have a 1 inch round cookie cutter, use the cap to a bottle (such as olive oil)!
After cooking the donut rounds, be sure to let them cool completely on a plate before dipping and rolling.
Use a spoon to dip the donut rounds in the sweetened glaze. This makes it a lot easier and a lot less messy!
Be sure to use a shallow bowl for the coconut so you can easily roll the glazed tails around until they are completely covered. I used a simple pasta bowl.
Place the coconut-covered Easter Bunny Tails about 1-inch apart on a piece of parchment paper to set. This takes about 15 minutes.
And that’s it! Your fun and fuzzy Bunny Tails are finished and ready to eat! Aren’t they precious?!

I hope you enjoy these rabbit tails as much as I did! Here is the handy-dandy printable version of this Easter Bunny Tails recipe, followed by more tasty and easy Easter and spring recipes and crafts.
Ingredients
- 1 can Refrigerated Biscuits
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 3 cups Sweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Pour the vegetable oil into a sauce pan and place on stove over medium-high heat.
- Remove the biscuits from the can and lay them on a cutting board. Using a 1 inch round cookie cutter, cut circles from each biscuit. You should be able to get 4 circles from each biscuit. If you don't have a cookie cutter, a bottle cap (such as one from a bottle of olive oil) would work as well.
- Carefully place 4-6 of the donut rounds into the oil. Once one side is golden brown, use tongs to flip and fry the other side. When finished, remove from oil and place on a plate to cool.
- To make the glaze, add the milk, vanilla and powdered sugar to a shallow bowl, and mix until combined.
- In a second shallow bowl, add the sweetened coconut shreds.
- Dip each donut round into the glaze and then roll it around in the coconut until covered. Place on parchment paper to set.
