Preheat oven to 350*.

Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl.

Add wet ingredients and mix using a hand mixer. Dough may become a bit crumbly.

Roll dough into a ball and place on a large piece of parchment paper, laid on a flat surface. Add another large piece of parchment on top.

Roll out dough using a rolling pin, to about 1/4" thickness.

Use animal-shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes. If using plunge-style cutters, gently wiggle and push plunger in and out as you pull away from the dough.

Gently transfer shapes to a lined baking sheet, spacing cookies about an inch apart. A thin fish spatula can help with the transfer.

Bake for about 8 minutes, until lightly golden on the edges. Allow to cool before serving or storing in an air-tight container.
