1

Bake the Dino Footprints Cookies

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the cookie recipe. Follow the recipe instructions to prepare the cookie dough.

Prepare the Icing and Colors

Gather your ingredients for the icing: powdered sugar, milk, and food coloring. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until you achieve a smooth consistency. If the icing seems too thick, add a little more milk. Divide the icing into smaller bowls and add a different food coloring to each bowl. Get ready to make a colorful dino masterpiece!

Outline the Footprint Shape

Pick a vibrant color of icing and transfer it to a piping bag or a small plastic sandwich bag with a tiny corner snipped off. Carefully outline the footprint shape on each cookie with the icing. This will create a border that keeps the flood icing contained. Take your time and enjoy the process!

Flood the Footprint with Icing

Now it's time to flood those footprints with icing goodness! Use the same color of icing you used for outlining or choose a different shade - it's up to you! Spoon or pipe the thinner flood icing inside the outlined shape. Gently spread it with the back of a spoon or a toothpick, making sure to fill the entire footprint evenly. Let the flood icing set for a bit before moving on to the next step.

Add Vivid Details and Texture

Get those creative juices flowing! Use different colors of icing to add exciting details and textures to your dino footprints. Create scales, claws, and even little vegetation around the footprints with the help of toothpicks, small paintbrushes, or squeeze bottles. You're the master of this edible prehistoric world, so let your imagination run wild!

Let the Icing Set and Roar with Joy

After all the decorating fun, give your dino footprints some time to dry and set. Place the cookies on a flat surface or a wire rack to allow the icing to harden completely. This might take a few hours, but the anticipation will be worth it! Once the icing is set, admire your roar-some creations and indulge in a delicious journey to a world long gone.
