Animal Cracker Cookie Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients

Animal Crackers, like Stauffer’s or Barnum’s
Ghiradelli White Melting Wafers
Rainbow Color Sprinkles
Pink Food Coloring (not pictured, but you can get creative with colors!)

Instructions

In a double boiler (you can use a glass bowl over a pot with 1/2 cup water), melt the Ghiradelli wafers and stir until smooth. Dip the animal crackers in with tongs until coated on both sides and place on wax paper. Continue until you have as many of the white crackers cookies that you want. Then, add 4 drops of pink food coloring and still until fully blended and the color is light pink (or however you prefer, really). Dip however many cookies you want to be pink and repeat the above process. Add rainbow sprinkles on top of all the crackers. Let set in fridge for 10-20 minutes.
