We love snacks in our house but many of the foods out there are made with junk and filled with bioengineered foods that do so much damage! So I’ve been on the hunt for tried and true recipes to replace these junky foods! Today it was a recipe for animal crackers! We got this recipe from yummy toddler food! Their food is amazing and I hope you enjoy this as much as we do! As an Amazon affiliate any links you click I may get commission from.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole-wheat or all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons milk or buttermilk(I used buttermilk)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (I use homemade extract)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place all ingredients into a bowl and use your hand to mix together to form a dough. (If the dough is a little crumbly, be sure that it’s throughly combined and then if it’s still crumbly, add 1/2-1 tablespoon additional milk until it comes together.)
- Make a flattened disc of dough.
- Roll the dough ¼-inch thick between two pieces of pieces of parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Cut out the dough with a cookie cutter (I used those mini cookie cutters) and transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 7-9 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges.
- Remove from the oven, let cool on the baking sheet for a minute, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
