The kids were coming over for a pool party/cook out and I decided that cookie bites would be a perfect quick little dessert. My daughter first made cookie bites during a holiday visit a few years ago and it was really easy.
I have to admit I had to search high a low to find frosted animal cookies to make these. But I was determined, and after the third grocery store I finally found them.
With my hard-to-find purchase in hand I was ready to start the fun.
They were a huge success; in fact, they ate the entire batch that afternoon, except for a few that I set aside to take to work to share with colleagues the next day. Guess there’s still a kid in all of us…especially when it comes to animal cookies.
