Homemade Animal Crackers Recipe

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and honey until well combined.

Step 2

Add the egg and vanilla, and beat in.

Step 3

Next, add the dry ingredients: the flours, baking powder and cinnamon and mix to form a dough.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (You can use it straight away but it's a little easier to roll when it has chilled for a bit).

Step 5

Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 6

Roll half of the dough out onto a floured surface, about ¼ inch thick.

Step 7

Using Animal Cookie Cutters or any cookie cutters cut out the dough into shapes. Place the crackers onto prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges.

Step 9

Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before enjoying. Stored cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
