Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (James 1:17)

Heat oven to 350ºF. Combine sugar, 1 cup butter and egg in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Reduce speed to low; add remaining cookie ingredients except marshmallows. Beat until well mixed (2 to 3 minutes). To shape bunnies, roll one-third of dough into 1” balls, one-third into ¾” balls and the remaining third into 1 x ¼” logs to resemble ears. For each cookie, place 1 (1-inch) ball on greased cookie sheet; top with one ¾” ball and 2 logs for ears. (Make sure balls are touching so that bunny is formed during baking.) Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in center. Remove from oven; place 1 marshmallow on half of the bunny cookies to resemble tails, if desired. Continue baking for 1 to 2 minutes or until marshmallow is slightly melted. Cool completely. Combine powdered sugar, ¼ cup butter and vanilla in small mixer bowl. Beat at low speed, gradually adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency and scraping bowl often. Place frosting in pastry bag fitted with decorator tip. Decorate cookies as desired.
