Hi,

I am looking for a recipe for what Americans term "animal crackers" -
like the ones shown here http://tinyurl.com/4vp42m .

I think these kinds of snacks might be called "biscuits" or "crisps"
in other countries, but I'm not sure. They are sort of hard/crunchy,
slightly sweet, not frosted, and somewhat bland (usually vanilla or
sometimes lemon flavored). Most folks who grew up in the US have eaten
these by the pound during childhood. They definitely are not flaky or
crumbly like a pastry and are not sugar cookies. They apparently can
be made with little fat. Williams-Sonoma offers a mix, but I'd rather
make some from scratch.

I have searched teh Internets to no avail and have found only 1 recipe
(http://tinyurl.com/3zm6w7 - posted ubiquitously) that claims to make
animal crackers, but the reviews are kind of negative. I'm wondering
if I'm using the wrong search terms... Can anyone help me out, please?
Better search terms would be great, a tested-and-true recipe would be
ideal.

Thanks in advance,
June

Wiki says the Nabisco version is made with
"Flour, sugar, shortening, corn flour, whey solids, salt, leaving and
oil-of-lemon"

I am trying to think of a cookie/biscuit with a similar texture but
there really isn't anything quite like an animal cracker.

Probably more flour than a regular cookie, less fat, less sugar, no
eggs, and baked low and slow.

Sorry...not much help.

Try this one?

INGREDIENTS
a.. 40 g rolled oats
b.. 95 g all-purpose flour
c.. 1 g baking soda
d.. 2 g salt
e.. 55 g butter
f.. 10 ml honey
g.. 60 ml buttermilk
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grind oats until fine
using a blender or food processor.
1.. In a medium bowl, stir together the blended oats, flour, baking soda
and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the
butter lumps are smaller than peas. Stir in the buttermilk and honey to form
a stiff dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch
in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1
inch apart onto cookie sheets.
2.. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges are lightly
browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

Right, that's the ubiquitously posted recipe that I had in my original
post - it has kind of negative reviews on the site that I linked to.

Thanks for trying, though.

Just where the hell have you been, anyway? Have you been posting and
I've missed it? LOL.

Somewhere at home, I have one of those really heavy cast-iron shape
baking molds for circus figures - it came with an "animal cracker"
recipe. I'll dig it out - not sure if it will taste the same as the
commercial ones. To me, the only ones that taste "right" are the ones
in the circus-wagon box with the carrying string on top. ;-)

Animal crackers remind me of arrowroot cookies -- sometimes called
arrowroot crackers. You might have luck searching for and trying an
arrowroot cookie recipe. I'm sorry that I don't have a recipe to
share.

Yes!!! I've been trying to think of the name "arrowroot cookies"
since I first saw June's post. That's what they remind me of, but
animal crackers are a bit denser.

Here you go; Looks like you can scale this; Caution don't use Marj with
water.

1 lb. margarine
3 3/4 c. sugar
10 tbsp. milk
5 eggs
2 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tbsp. vanilla
8 or 9 c. flour (enough to make dough
stiff)

Cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and milk. Blend thoroughly.
Add sodas to flour. Add flour to first mixture, a little at a time.
Blending well after each addition. Roll on floured board and cut into
desired animal shapes with cutters. Bake at 350 degrees 7 to 10 minutes.
Makes 20 dozen cookies.

Here's a recipe for animal crackers but if, like me, you have
little artistic ability they will look like amoebae :-)
http://tinyurl.com/5jvfyt Mostly, people buy them in a
supermarket. There used to be an excruciating children's song
called "Animal Crackers in my Soup" !

Shirley Temple. That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw
the subject heading. It's so bad that it's almost good, but not
quite. "Excruciating" is a good choice of words.

The Old Scoundrel remembers the yellow coloring packet in early WW II that
was used to color the oleo to make it look like butter. Butter was rationed.
In addition it was at one time unlawful to sell per-colored oleo. We even
had a special 1 beater mixer and bowl. I don't think it was Crisco however.

Except the recipe called specifically for margarine I will not change it
until I have made it. BTW butter which I prefer to use for baking does have
a small amount of water and there man be a specific reason for the marj.

Neither are mine, and far less of them would be if there were less
