We got the mix as a gift for my daughter along with cookie cutters, but not the animal ones. I thought the mix was tasty and dug the recipe up on the WS website:

These are adorable
I have been searching all over for an animal cracker/cookie recipe to make at home. What is the recipe on the back of the Williams Sonoma box? Are you willing to share that? I have my own mini cutters so no need to get the kit – although the circus animals are adorable – but I am searching for a good recipe. Thanks!!

Phillip – I do recall having a similar issue when I started using the cookie cutters. If I remember correctly I had to really flour the cutters thoroughly before trying to press the cookies. If the dough is too soft you probably need to firm it up with a little extra flour. Chilling the dough before rolling it out will also make it more firm and therefore easier to work with.

So we’ve tried making these twice now, and have had less than no luck in getting the cutouts to stay in the cutters as described to transfer them to the baking sheet. Our dough seems too soft for them to hold together, and sticks to our work surface. Did you have to finagle it at all or is this something I can blame on South Texas heat and humidity?

I haven’t been this excited in ages! I am going to be on vacation for two weeks with my grandsons, and I am running to the store to buy the cutters so I can make them. Thanks for sharing.

These look adorable! I really want to buy a box for my daughter. She loves baking cookies and cutting them in all shapes possible:) This will make a great addition to her own little kitchenware:)

these are adorable! i was just leafing through the new ws catalog right now and saw them. i think they’re worth making solely for the nostalgia alone (i too munched animal crackers and watched she-ra who was much cooler than he-man!). thanks for posting this.

OMG! She-Ra!! That sure brought back flashes of my childhood! And the cookie cutters. I am trying to figure out how to reason why I need these… I just do! They are so cute!

Adorable! I love the idea of using them for gingerbread cookies at the holidays!
