""#sponsored * Happy ___day! I’m so excited to share this whimsical cookie idea with you in partnership with @annieshomegrown , @thefeedfeed, and @wedge_linden_hills_coop! The recipe pairs several delicious varieties of Annie’s Organic Fruit Snacks and my favorite cut-out sugar cookie recipe (but you can use any sugar cookie recipe you want)! The lightly sweet cookies are really good with the natural flavors of the fruit snacks, and the cookies brought smiles to everyone I shared them with!
I discovered Annie’s Fruit Snacks a few years ago when I was looking for natural treats to fill my niece & nephew’s Easter baskets with - and I’ve been hooked ever since! They’re perfect when you want a sweet treat without artificial ingredients, and they're on sale at your local coop Bunny Fruit Snacks 2/$5 from 8/19 - 9/1.
Check your favorite co-op for Annie’s brands! I love shopping at our local co-ops because the staff is always so friendly and the product selection is wonderfully diverse. If you need help finding one near you, just visit this store locator - https://bit.ly/2BQ8Flv !
Annie’s has been part of the General Mills family of brands for over four years now, and they’re still just as dedicated to their strict ingredient standards as when the company began 30 years ago!

Recipe Card
ingredients
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons sour cream or whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 packets Organic Bees, Bugs & Butterflies Fruit Snacks
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy (about one minute). Add egg, sour cream, and vanilla, and beat one minute. Add half of dry ingredients, and beat just until just blended. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients.
Step 4
Divide dough in half and place each half on sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten dough, wrap tightly, and chill at least 1 hour - up to 24 hours. (Before rolling, allow dough to soften slightly at room temperature as needed.)
Step 5
ROLLING RECOMMENDATION: This soft dough is easiest to work with when chilled. Work with one half of dough, one pan/batch at a time. Place larger piece of parchment on counter. Unwrap dough and place on parchment paper, then place the plastic wrap on top. Roll dough (between parchment and plastic wrap) to 1/4” thickness. Alternatively, you can flour all surfaces and roll without parchment and plastic wrap if you prefer.
Step 6
Cut out cookie shapes and centers, place 1” apart on prepared baking sheet, then “fill” each with chopped pieces of Annie’s Fruit Snacks. Refrigerate for 15 minutes before baking. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes - rotating pan half way through baking time – just until cookie edges start to brown lightly. Chill and re-roll dough scraps, and repeat until finished.
Step 7
Allow baked cookies to cool slightly, then move to wire racks to cool completely. Store up to 3 days at room temperature in air-tight containers with parchment in between.
