BUNNY CARROT COOKIES 
1 c. sweet cream butter, melted
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1/2 c. shredded carrot
3 c. flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Miniature marshmallows

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large mixing bowl beat butter, sugar and egg at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until blended (1 to 2 minutes). Add remaining ingredients except marshmallows. Continue beating at low speed until well blended (2 to 3 minute).

To shape bunnies, roll one third of dough into 1 inch balls, one third into 3/4 inch balls and remaining third into 1 x 1/4 inch logs to resemble ears on greased cookie sheet.

Place 1 inch ball, top with 1 3/4 inch ball and 2 logs for ears. Making sure balls are touching so that bunny is formed during baking. Bake for 11 to 15 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in center.

Remove from oven, place 1 marshmallow on bunny to resemble tail. Continue baking 1 to 2 minutes until marshmallow is slightly melted. Makes 2 1/2 dozen.
