Beat the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until soft and creamy. Gradually beat in the egg and vanilla. Add the flour and mix to a dough.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1 cm|1/2". Using a rabbit-shaped cookie cutter, cut biscuits out of the dough and place on the baking tray.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until pale golden brown. Cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
