Circus Cookies

Circus Cookies might be a new favorite of mine! I saw that someone made cookies out of frosted animal cookies and I thought it was brilliant. Growing up as a kid I loved frosted animal cookies and every time I saw one it was devoured! I decided to try and come up with a recipe and I think I nailed this one. You will thank me after you make these!

I was walking into my neighborhood Fred Meyer and as soon as I walked in the door they had a huge display of baking items with bags of animals cookies right on top. I knew it as soon as I saw them that I needed to figure out this new cookie recipe.

I love these Circus Cookies because they are so colorful!

Make sure to buy the staple items for the Circus Cookies! White chocolate chips, Mother’s Circus Animal Cookies and sprinkles.

Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and oil until smooth on medium speed. Beat in sugars. Add egg and egg yolk and vanilla, then beat on medium-high speed until combined.

Beat in flour, vanilla pudding, salt, corn starch and baking powder.

Hand stir in white chocolate chips, sprinkles and broken up animal cookies.

Refrigerate for one hour.

Roll into balls about an inch in diameter and place on baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. After 10 minutes check the circus cookies to see if they are done.

The cookies will be thick which is perfect for a cookie!

Kids will love these Circus Cookies since they are so bright and colorful!

Cookies inside of cookies are the best!

Enjoy!!!
