Yummy “Animal” Crackers

With just a few simple ingredients and a crazy easy method, this Animal Crackers recipe is a favorite kids snack to make and share. You can make them big or mini in whichever shapes you prefer!

Ingredients-

• 1 cup gluten free flour

• 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/8 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature

• 2 tablespoons almond milk

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions-

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 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 almond milk until it comes together.)

3. Make a flattened disc of dough.

4. Roll the dough ¼-inch thick between two pieces of lightly floured pieces of parchment paper. (The flour will ensure that the cut outs are easy to move.)

5. Cut out the dough with a cookie cutter and transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 7-9 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. 

6. Remove from the oven, let cool on the baking sheet for a minute, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
