Notes
- I like the addition of whole wheat, but I don't recommend using 100% whole wheat and no white flour as it will make for heavy dough.
- Here are the
- Animal Cookie Cutters
- that I used.
- Make Ahead Tip: make the dough, cut the shapes and freeze the cookies on a parchment-lined tray. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container for up to 2 months. Then, you can bake off fresh crackers whenever you want them!

- Be sure that your butter is very soft or it may be difficult to cream.
- You can also mix this dough in a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, on medium speed.
- Instead of using cling wrap, you can chill this dough in a reusable airtight container.
- You can gather and reroll your dough scraps to get more cookies. If the dough gets too soft, refrigerate for 15 minutes before rerolling.
