Thanks to the [Mother's Mythical Creature Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamite-dinosaurs), there's a new twist on [Mother's Circus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mothers-x-nerds) Animal Cookies that trades the familiar silhouettes of camels and rhinos for mythical creatures. The four new shapes are based on imaginative creatures like [unicorns, sea serpents, mermaids and dragons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicorn-crispy-bar), and instead of featuring pink and white icing, they're offered in a white and lavender colorway. These new cookies also trade the usual rainbow nonpareils for edible glitter sprinkles.

The mythical creature cookies offer a fresh take on a childhood favorite and the sweet treats promise to appeal to a wide range of audiences who find themselves fascinated by legends and lore. In the spring, the Mother's Mythical Creature Cookies will be available to purchase in multipacks to keep snack cabinets well-stocked.
