Circus Animal Cookies with Icing

"My son loves the store-bought circus animal cookies, but the ingredient list scares me a little, since they contain wax and other chemicals. This recipe is a delicious variation that makes cookies that look just like the ones in the store but taste much better."

Ingredients :

• Cookie Dough:
• 3 cups butter
• 4 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
• Icing:
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 cup half-and-half
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 drops pink food coloring, or as desired
• 1/4 cup multicolored candy sprinkles, or as needed

Instructions :

Prep : 1H	Cook : 100M	Ready in : 2H52M

• Place butter in a large bowl and cream using an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar and mix until incorporated. Add each egg individually to the creamed butter, scraping the sides of the bowl if needed. Add vanilla extract and mix for 3 more minutes.
• Sift flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar together in a bowl. Add flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed. Cover and chill the dough until it is workable, 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roll dough out onto a work surface and cut using small animal-shaped cookie cutters. Place cookies on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until crisp, 7 to 9 minutes. Let cool completely before icing, about 45 minutes.
• Mix 2 cups confectioners' sugar, half-and-half, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Divide icing and add pink food coloring to 1 half. Dip cookies in icing and decorate with sprinkles quickly before icing dries. Place cookies on a rack to let icing dry to a shiny finish.
