1

Gather your ingredients

Before embarking on your dino-cookie adventure, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. Here's what you'll need: flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and some dinosaur-shaped cookie cutters. Don't worry, you won't need a real dinosaur for this recipe!

2

Preheat your oven

Time to warm up your oven! Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your dino footprints cookies bake to perfection and come out golden and delicious.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until a dough forms. Don't be alarmed if it looks like dino droppings - that's just part of the fun!

Shape the dinosaur footprints

Now comes the dino-tastic part! Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thick. Using your dinosaur-shaped cookie cutters, carefully cut out the footprints. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave some space between the cookies for expansion.

5

Bake and cool

Time to send those dino footprints on a baking adventure! Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the cookies bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Once baked, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Be patient, and try not to eat them all while waiting!

Decoration time!

Now it's time to bring your dino footprints to life! You can get creative with decorating options. Use edible food paints or colored icing pens to add details like dinosaur scales, claws, or footprints. Let your imagination run wild like a stampede of dinosaurs!
