Notes

You can play with the ratios of animal crackers, chocolate chips, and sprinkles, but you should be careful to not add a total of more than 1½ cups of add-ins.
You can use a chopped white chocolate bar instead of white chocolate chips if you want.
To make a fun cookie sandwich, place vanilla frosting in between two cookies!
