Ingredients

The following ingredients have 36 Servings
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups frosted animal crackers, chopped
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup rainbow nonpareils
  • 36 frosted animal crackers

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium-large bowl, stir flour and baking soda together. Set aside. Beat butter, shortening, and sugars with your electric mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, and then vanilla extract. Reduce speed; gradually add flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Add animal cracker pieces and white chocolate chips and mix until combined. Scoop dough using a medium-size cookie scoop. Roll tops and sides of cookies in nonpareils. Place on prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for about 12 minutes, until edges are just barely golden. Immediately press a frosted animal cracker into the center of each cookie. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for several minutes, then remove to rack to cool completely.
