One of my guilty pleasures are Mother's Circus Animal Cookies. Yes, they have to be the Mother's brand. I love these cookies so much and have no problem eating a bag to myself. I avoid buying them now since I have no portion control, but made an exception to make a batch of this Circus Animal Cookie Bark!

Mother's are the classic, original Circus Animal Cookies. No other brand compares and these ones taste just like I remember from my childhood.

This bark was such a fun treat to share with my girls! They weren't home while I made and photographed it, but this would be a great recipe for any kid to help with. This cookie bark can be served at a birthday party on a plate or platter or even packaged up in plastic gift bags to take home. They would be a great seller at a bake sale too.
