Ingredients:
✨2 Cups All-Purpose Flour 240g
✨¼ tsp Salt
✨½ tsp Baking Soda
✨¾ Cups Butter room temperature
✨¾ Cups Granulated Sugar
✨1 Egg room temperature
✨1 tsp Vanilla Extract
✨Pink and White Chocolate Candy Melts
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.
2. In a large bowl, add butter and beat with the paddle attachment for one minute or until fluffy. Add the graduated sugar and mix until combined. Then, add the egg and vanilla until combined.
3. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix on medium for one to two minutes until a dough is formed.
4. Flour a clean work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 1-inch disk. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour. The chilled dough will be easier to work with when using the animal cracker cookie cutters.
5. Preheat your oven to 350℉.
6. Roll out the dough until it is 1/8th-inch thick. Then, use your animal cookie cutters to cut out the animal shapes. Transfer the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets. Use a toothpick or fork and poke a few holes at the top of each cookie.
7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
8. Decorate the Cookies: Dip one side of the animal cookie into the melted candy melts. Sprinkle a pinch of nonpareils on top and place on the prepared sheets to dry completely.
