Butterscotch Bunnies -aka Butterscotch Pudding Spritz Cookies

I saw this original Mirro cookie press rabbit disc on Ebay at Christmas and decided to treat myself to a little gift:@) Up to that point this disc was kind of mythical... I was told it existed at some point in time, but I had never seen one myself. I'm tickled to finally have it and the first thing I thought I'd make was Butterscotch Bunnies for Easter! These butterscotch spritz cookies get a nice flavor boost from instant pudding and I chose to decorate them simply, with just a sprinkling of colored sugar.

The gentleman that sold me the disc said he couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be.
He thought it was a pair of pliers... Silly Wabbit:@)

 Don't hesitate to hop into the kitchen and give these tasty, crunchy cookies a try folks!
