In answer to Alissa, I found my recipe for animal crackers, as I had also bought the molds from KAF. This is the recipe that came with the molds (which are quite cute!) As I recall, I made them once. They tasted good, but the texture was not right. I don't believe I ever tried the recipe again! Maybe someone would like to tackle that problem!
Wild Animal Crackers
1 1/4 c. KAF (all-purpose)
1/2 c. oat flour or finely ground rolled oats
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. malted milk powder
1 t. baking powder
1/2 . salt
1/2 c. butter, soft
2 t. vanilla
1/8 t. Fiori Di Sicilia or lemon oil or 1 t. lemon zest
3 T. corn syrup
Preheat oven to 350 deg. F
In food processor or medium sized bowl, combine the dry ingred. Add soft butter and pulse or mix till crumbly. Add flavorings and corn syrup and process just till the dough comes together. Add 1 T. water if needed to make the dough cohesive. Shape dough into 3/4" balls and press into ungreased molds. Place molds on baking sheet and bake for 10 - 12 min. Cool in molds for 5 min, then turn onto rack to cool.
