Turn cooking mode on
Step 1
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter and maple syrup - cream them together with the paddle attachment until smooth, 1-2 minutes.
6 tbsp Salted butter
1/4 cup Maple syrup
Step 2
Next add the vanilla, cinnamon and salt and continue mixing on medium speed until incorporated.
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp Salt
Step 3
Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Mix until a stiff dough forms.
1 1/2 cups Freshly milled soft white wheat flour
Step 4
Flatten the dough into a disk and cover with an air tight wrap. Chill the dough for 2 hours or overnight.
Step 5
Pull the dough from the fridge and allow to soften to a workable state, before rolling out.
Step 6
Preheat oven to 350° F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out shapes from the dough.
Step 8
Place the shapes on the parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 7-9 minutes until golden brown. Watch them closely, because they will burn if you're not careful.
Step 9
Let the animal crackers cool and store in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
