Gingerbread Animal Crackers
Gingerbread Animal Crackers are really the best of both words. They have that classic animal cracker look and texture, but with the sweetness and spice of a gingerbread cookie! I think my kids would want me to make these for them everyday, if they could. Luckily, this recipe is super easy to make, I really don’t mind whipping them up at the drop of a dime. These cookies come out if the oven really soft inside with a crispy, golden outside — perfect for decorating or drizzling with icing! These little guys are perfect for an afternoon snack or to put in your little one’s lunches.
