Preparation Instructions:
We would like to thank Shawn from Key West Florida for submitting this amazing oatmeal animal crackers recipe. To begin, please take out a mixing bowl and add in the white superfine sugar, old fashioned oats, baking soda, and kosher salt. Vigorously stir these ingredients together until you have an even distribution throughout. Moving along, next cut in the all vegetable shortening until it's crumbly. Next add in the hot water and pure vanilla extract, then stir all of these ingredients together until a cracker dough is formed in your bowl. You want the dough to be fairly stiff. Once you are done with that step, you will want to lightly flour a clean surface, then roll out the dough to an eighth of an inch thickness. You can now dip your animal cookie cutters into flour, and then begin to create your various cracker shapes. Once you have enough cracker shapes, transfer them to a greased baking sheet using a spatula. At this point you will want to bake your animal crackers at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius. The crackers should turn golden brown in about eight to ten minutes, at which point you should remove them from the oven. Do be sure to let them cool down before serving them. These oatmeal animal crackers go great with a tall glass of cold 2% milk. We hope you have enjoyed this recipe as much as we have.
