Frosted Animal Crackers Recipe
An adorable copycat recipe for classic pink and white frosted animal cracker cookies with sprinkles! Made with homemade animal crackers from scratch (or store-bought), dipped in a simple 2-ingredient icing.
Ingredients
- 60-65 homemade animal crackers (or store-bought)
- 1 cup powdered sugar, divided (120g)
- 1-2 Tbsp milk of choice
- 1 drop red food coloring (for pink frosting)
- 2-3 Tbsp nonpareil sprinkles
Instructions
- For white frosting: In a bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar and a splash of milk until smooth and drizzly. (Use less milk at first to make a thicker glaze, then add a splash at a time to thin it out as much as desired.)
- For pink frosting: In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and 1 drop red food coloring.
- Dip homemade animal crackers (or store-bought) into desired color(s) of frosting. Use 2 forks to dip each cracker into the frosting, lift it out, and transfer to a wire baking rack to let the excess drip off. Add sprinkles while frosting is still wet.
- Transfer frosted animal crackers to a plate to set completely. (This will prevent the lines of the wire rack from imprinting into the backs of your crackers.)
- Store iced animal crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days, or in the fridge for up to 10 days.
- Yields~60-65 frosted animal cracker cookies.
