Delicious snack food that comes in a variety of forms. The cookies are usually shaped like some sort of circus animal. See also animal crackers.

Types of Animal Cookies

Plain- Just a cookie shaped like an animal.
Sprinkled - Contains little sprinkles on the top of the cookie.
Iced - The top of the cookie has a pink or white icing on it.
Frosted - The cookie is completely covered in frosting (usually pink or white), I have only seen these with sprinkles on them.
Chocolate Chip - I've never had this variety but I know that the Keebler Company does make them.
