Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅓ cup vegetable shortening
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups crushed frosted circus animal cookies
- ⅓ cup Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet or 2 with parchment paper and set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and sea salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the shortening, softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and mix until combined. Fold in the crushed animal cookies and sprinkles.
- Use a cookie scoop to place scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets making sure to leave about 1 inch between each cookie. Use the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to flatten each cookie slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until beginning to brown on the edges.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage: Store circus animal sugar cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- I prefer to bake my cookies one batch at a time so each cookie is baked evenly. You can either bake the cookies one batch at a time or use multiple cookie sheets to bake all at once and save yourself some time. You may want to rotate your pans halfway through baking to help the cookies bake more evenly.
- For a more animal cookie-focused presentation, feel free to save some whole animal cookies and place one on top of each cookie immediately upon removing from the oven.
- Careful not to bake the cookies for too long! Once the edges are golden brown, they're fully baked.
- Remember to let the cookies cool for a bit on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack so they don't break apart.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure every cookie is the same exact size. This will help them bake evenly and look perfect.
