Nooooo!

Mother's Cookies (makers of those tasty pink and white frosted animal crackers) has closed it's doors. There will be no more tasty-crack cookies for you! Which is sad (but I admit, I've only been allowed to indulge in them a couple of times but even those few have left an imprint on my brain). Never to fear, those creative people who blog about such things have created a recipe for you when you're stuck with a craving for these extinct cookies.

Dessert First has posted a recipe using these Williams-Sonoma cookie cutters. And don't bother, I've already checked around for other circus animal cookie cutters and can't find any. Sadness. I crave these little guys though!
