- Whizz the butter, flour and zest in a food processor until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the icing sugar and egg yolks and mix until smooth.
- Shape the mixture into a ball. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
- Grease two baking sheets. Roll out the dough to 5mm (¼in) thick and cut out as many bunnies as you can using a rabbit-shaped cutter. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven.
- Whisk the egg white until frothy. Brush the biscuits with egg, then scatter over the coconut. Return to the oven for 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- When cool, pipe on the tail in white icing and pipe on the eyes and whiskers in black icing. Leave to set for 30 minutes before serving.
