Kid Friendly “Dinosaur Fossils”

What You’ll Need:

1 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup of sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
cinnamon + sugar mixture

The How To:

Preheat oven to 350º F. Add butter and sugar to a stand mixer and beat for 3 minutes, or until it becomes light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt together. Add to the bowl of the stand mixer and mix until it forms a loose dough.
Place dough onto a clean surface and knead it until it forms a ball. (Add flour to your hands if dough is sticky)
Grab a small piece of dough and form a rough ball. Flatten it with your hands until it’s 1/4″ thick. (Keep the edges rough looking to make the fossil look more realistic.) Place it onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat. (Make sure to place the cookies at least an inch apart)
Bake for 6-8 minutes. As soon as they come out of the oven, use your dinosaurs to make fossil imprints. ** Make sure to press the dinosaur down firmly (but gentle enough to not break the cookie) **
Mix a little bit of cinnamon and sugar together. Then, brush the mixture into the fossil imprints to make them “pop.”
Enjoy!
