I love using cookie cutters for savory food. Instead of making cookies I used these 3D cutters to make giraffe and elephant shaped crackers. This was actually the second time I attempted this. Make sure when you cut out the shapes that you push the leg openings a little bit together. Cracker dough does not expand the same way that cookie dough does so you need to make the openings more narrow.

I wanted to serve these crackers with soup so I made this celery soup (with vegetable stock) to use up celery that I had in the house.

These were fun to make and eat. If I make them again I will experiment with different seeds and rubs to add color and details to the animals.
