I saw this recipe on one of my favorite websites, The Cookie Cutter Shop and thought it would be a fun one to do with the kids.
I added some orange zest and cardamom to the dough and we glazed it with a powdered sugar, freshly squeezed orange juice, and orange zest combination.Animal Crackers
1/2 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 cup buttermilk
(1). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grind oats until fine using a blender or food processor.
(2). 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.
(3). Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
