Homemade Animal Crackers
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  2. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the cold butter into the flour until it looks like coarse crumbs.

  3. Stir in the wet ingredients: vanilla, honey, and milk. Mix until the dough comes together. Add a splash of milk if dough is too dry. Add more flour if your dough gets too sticky.

  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. This helps the shapes from spreading.

  5. Roll the dough to ⅛" or ¼" thickness. Use mini cookie cutters, holiday cutters, or even a butter knife to cut out shapes.

  6. Place animal crackers on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 7-10 minutes or until edges are lightly brown. Let cool and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (optional).
