Sprinkles For Breakfast Cookie Recipes Circus Animal Cookies

Homemade Animal Crackers

Sometimes things just don’t work out the way you want them to. No matter how well you plan or prep, life can always find a way to mess things up. But, I think it is important to remember that these little life blunders happen to all of us, and no matter what the circumstances are, we are all left with two choices. We can either let the mishap totally ruin our day, or we can put it behind us and find a new way to achieve what we wanted.

How To Make Animal Cracker Cookies

Last week, I attempted to make some Triple Berry Cinnamon rolls. I had the whole thing planned out – I did the research, found the recipe, and even picked out props for the pictures I was going to take. I was ready.

But, even with my impeccable planning, the whole thing blew up in my face. I stained my nice white dinning table with berry juice, I ripped a pair of pants, and ended up with gross, soggy cinnamon rolls. I am not kidding – they were completely inedible. And on top of all that, I was still without a recipe for this week.

Cookies in the shape of Circus Animals

Let’s just say…I was not happy. But, instead of having a temper tantrum (which is what I felt like doing) I went to my kitchen cabinet to see what else I could come up with. Luckily, I had just made a Circus Animal Cracker Cake for someone’s birthday, so I had some leftover Circus Animal Cookies. When I saw them, I immediately thought of the Circus Animal Cookies at Cookie Good!  Circus Animals Cookie. I knew I didn’t have the recipe, but I figured I could come up with something pretty close.

It turned out, I was right. These sugar cookies are soft, chewy, and filled with Circus Animal Cookies and lots and lots of sprinkles! Basically, every bite is a party – and you are never going to want to leave. So, you see? Sometimes, when things don’t go your way, you can regroup and end up with something even better. In this case, it was a party in your mouth…which I think it a pretty great alternative.

Basically, if you can eat it, you can use luster dust on it! But here are my l favorite ways to use it:

- Royal Icing Cookies
- Fondant cakes
- Buttercream Cakes/Cupcakes (but buttercream must be cold when applied)
- Chocolate Covered anything (including cake pops)
- Splattered on brownies

Rose Gold, Gold and Black available @sweetsindeed.

My roommate hates glitter more than anything…but I can’t stop using it! Look how amazing our @sweetsindeed Edible Glitter Spray makes this cupcake look!

But I have agreed to only use glitter in my studio though. I feel like that is a fair compromise 🙌
