"Stamp" some fun into your baking with our recipe for Fossil Cookies! These "fossilized" slice 'n' bake sugar cookies are sure to be a hit with anyone who thinks dinosaurs are great, or who just really loves a simple sugar cookie recipe.

What You'll Need

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

What to Do

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly beat into butter mixture.
  3. Place dough in center of a sheet of plastic wrap with about a 2-inch diameter and shape into log. Wrap tightly and chill 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut dough into 1/4-inch slices and place on baking sheets. Press a dinosaur toy foot into each cookie. (See Note) Brush imprint of foot with cocoa powder.
  5. Bake 7 to 9 minutes, or until golden around edges. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

  • You can use a small toy dinosaur to make an authentic-looking footprint on your cookies, or a raw pasta shell to make an imprint.
