These cookies were inspired by a nostalgic childhood treat - Frosted Animal Cookies! This version gives shortbread a holiday makeover in red, green, and white with lots of sprinkles on top.
These cookies were the result of a happy accident. I ordered a set of cookie cutters (these) for a client project, and when they arrived they were much smaller than I expected! I love miniatures of all kinds, and these cutters were too adorable for words. If you look closely, they are all dog shapes - although the dachshund could pass for a seal which is one of the original Keebler Animal Cookie shapes - ha!
