CIRCUS ANIMAL SUGAR COOKIES



Circus Animal Sugar Cookies image

I got the inspiration for this cookie from a bakery in Santa Monica, California, called Cookie Good. The first time I tried it, it was like I was being transported back to my childhood when I would eat Mother's Circus Animal Cookies by the handful. After not being able to visit the bakery anymore, I decided to recreate it at home. My take utilizes a basic sugar cookie dough that is studded with rainbow sprinkles, then topped with a frosted circus animal cookie while still warm to allow it to melt into the sugar cookie and prevent it from falling off.

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/3 cup multi-colored sprinkles
24 frosted circus animal sugar cookies

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, shortening and sugar for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla and stir until well combined. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, then add them to the butter-and-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Fold in the sprinkles, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Using a small cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons), portion out the dough into balls and roll between the palms of your hands, placing 6 on each of the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave about 2 to 3 inches of space in between to allow the cookies to spread while baking.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and immediately place 1 frosted circus animal cookie on the center of each cookie, pressing down slightly. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Allow the baking sheets to cool completely, then repeat with the remaining dough and circus animal cookies. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

  • Place butter in the bowl of an electric stand mixer or use a medium bowl and electric hand-mixer. Beat butter for 30-60 seconds until creamy. Add the powdered sugar and beat again just until creamy and well-combined. Add the egg and vanilla. Beat again just until combined. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt all at once and beat on low speed just until dough starts to come together, 1-2 minutes. It's okay if there is some unincorporated flour. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl and finish mixing dough with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
  • Turn dough out onto a large square of plastic wrap or waxed paper and use the sides of the wrap or paper to pull the dough together into a ball. Flatten into a disk that is about 1-inch in thickness. Wrap well and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • When ready to bake cookies, remove dough from fridge and let stand for a few minutes at room temperature to make it easier to roll. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using two pieces of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle or oval that is about 1/4-inch thick. Using the small cookie cutters, cut the dough into animal shapes and transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
