Animal Crackers
-

My mother-in-law bought me fun, little animal cookie cutters to make Emily cookies with. I’m still working on perfecting this recipe, but this is what I have come up with so far and it has worked ok. 11 month old Emily loves them for a snack and they are easy to throw in a ziplock bag, in the diaper bag.

-
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup gluten-free all purpose flour blend of choice
¼ rice flour
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. baking soda
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon honey
¼ cup almond or rice milk
1 tsp. vanilla
sugar & cinnamon - optional
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees (I used non-stick pans and found that 350 degrees was better). Grind oats until fine, using blender or food processor.
-
In a medium bowl, stir together all dry ingredients. Blend in oil with fork or fingertips. Stir in honey, milk and vanilla to form a stiff dough. If dough is still too runny, add a little more flour.
-
On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8” thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies on cookie sheets. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, if desired.
-
Bake for 5-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
