CRACKER JACK COOKIES
This is a great batch of cookies to make for school bazaars or for your own home. Absolutely delicious, my kids love them. But this does make a large batch. I usually do half now and it makes 48 cookies. I vary the optional with coconut or chocolate chips or raisins. Sometimes I separate the batches and mix in chocolate chips in one and raisins in another.

ANIMAL CRACKER COOKIES
Found this on the William-Sonoma web site and they are so cute and look pretty easy think the DGSs will really like them. So decided to put the recipe here for safe keeping until the cookie cutters I've ordered arrive and I can make them. I think these will be fun and most recipes I get from William Sonoma taste great so hope these do to. Prep time does not include refrigeration or cooling time. I've guessed at the serving amount as the number of cookies will depend on the size of your cutters. Mine are a little larger than regular animal crackers. Finally made these and it was enjoyed by everyone, not just the kids. I think the fresh grated nutmeg is a must as it adds just that little bit of mystery to the taste that has folks asking "what is that flavor" I'm thinking they might even be good dipped in chocolate!

Steps:
- Take Ritz Crackers and make sandwich cookies out of them using peanut butter for the filling.
- Melt the almond bark according to package directions.
- Dip each cookie in the melted chocolate, covering it entirely.
- Place on wax paper.
- Add sprinkles if desired and put in the refrigerator to cool and set.
- Store in air-tight container for up to one week.
- *I have also made using Nutella for the filling.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
- Make sure your butter is cold and your flour is sifted. This will help to create a light and flaky cookie.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
