GIANT DINOSAUR COOKIES
Decorated sugar cookies for dessert delighted the young dinosaur lovers at our party. I had a lot of fun frosting the shapes and decorating them with mini-chocolate chip "eyes" and colorful candy spots to give them character. -Robin Werner, Brush Prairie, Washington

ICED ANIMAL COOKIES

Time 2h45m
Yield 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- For the animal cookies: In a stand mixer with the paddle, cream together the butter and sugar until just combined; do not incorporate air. Add the egg, lemon juice, vanilla extract and salt and beat to incorporate. Add the flour and mix to form a dryish dough. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap and smush the dough together, then flatten into a disc. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes or until you are ready to roll it out.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured countertop to about 1/4-inch thick. Cut out cookies with your cutter of choice and place on the lined baking sheet. (They will not spread, so you can put them fairly close together.)
- Bake for 12 minutes, rotating halfway through. They should not really take on any color, just a little bit on the bottom. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
- For the icing and decorating: Place the melting wafers in 2 double boilers and gently stir to melt. Drop in each cookie into one of the icings, top-down. Flip over and remove with a fork. Tap off excess and place on parchment paper. Sprinkle with sprinkles immediately, then allow to set at room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature until you have eaten them all.
DINOSAUR COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the cookie dough between two sheets of parchment paper. With a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Set the rolled dough in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm.
- Cut out cookies with a triceratops-shaped cookie cutter. Place the cookies roughly 2 inches apart on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 5 more minutes. Transfer the cookies and the parchment paper to a new baking sheet and bake until the bottoms are just golden brown and the centers are no longer doughy, about 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet about halfway through baking.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- For the base coat, put about 6 ounces of the royal icing in a medium bowl. Add 5 drops of orange food color and 2 drops of yellow food color and stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Gradually add a teaspoon of water at a time until the icing is the consistency of thin yogurt; when you scoop some up with a spoon and let it drip back into the bowl, the lines should settle out. (Don't add too much water all at once; the icing should not be watery or it will run off the edges of the cookies.) Cover the bowl with a damp paper towel until ready to use.
- Put 2 ounces of the royal icing in a small bowl. Add a few drops of water at a time until the icing is the consistency of thick yogurt. Transfer the icing to a disposable piping bag fitted with a coupler and a #1 round piping tip.
- For the dark-orange spots on the dinosaurs, put about 3 ounces of the royal icing in a medium bowl. Add 5 drops of the orange food color and 1 drop of yellow and stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Add food color as needed until a shade slightly darker than the base coat is achieved. Add a few drops of water at a time until the icing is the consistency of thick yogurt. Transfer the icing to a disposable piping bag fitted with a coupler and a #1 round piping tip.
- For the light-yellow outlines on the dinosaurs, put roughly 3 ounces of the white royal icing in a medium bowl. Add 3 drops of the yellow food color and stir to combine with a rubber spatula. Add food color as needed until a nice pale yellow is achieved. Gradually add a few drops of water at a time and mix until the icing is pipeable and slightly fluid, like thick yogurt. Transfer the icing to a disposable piping bag fitted with a coupler and a #2 round piping tip.
- For the dinosaurs' eyes, put 2 ounces of white royal icing in a small bowl. Color the royal icing black by adding 2 to 3 drops of black food color. Stir to combine using a rubber spatula, adding a few drops of water until a thick yogurt consistency is. Transfer the icing to a disposable piping bag fitted with a coupler and a #1 round piping tip.
- Once the cookies have cooled, flip the cookies upside down by holding the edge of the cookie. One at a time, dip the top of a cookie into the lighter orange base coat icing, moving the cookie slightly to make sure the top is coated entirely. The icing should not come up the sides of the cookies. Flip the cookie back over and jiggle the cookie slightly to help smooth out any lumps. Use a toothpick to pop any air bubbles and smooth out the icing. Place on the cooling rack and repeat with the remaining cookies until they are all coated.
- Next, while the cookies are still wet, use the dark-orange icing to make 3 to 4 spots along the back of the triceratops and slightly above the legs. Allow the cookies to dry for at least an hour.
- Using the white icing, pipe three small dots at the base of each of the two feet. Fill in the triangle shaped points sticking out of the head of the dinosaur to create two horns on each. Next pipe another horn on each that is the same size directly across from the horn towards the top of the head.
- Pipe an eye with the black icing on each, creating a small curved line just between the two horns on the triceratops head.
- For the border, pipe the light-yellow icing around the edge of each cookie, following the shape of the cookie. Next, pipe details to outline the legs, continuing the lines of the legs slightly upwards towards the body of the triceratops. Pipe what looks like a fishhook to create the mouths, swooping upwards towards the eye.
- Allow the cookies to dry completely before serving.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups plus 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 3/8 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups confectioner's sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Add 1 tablespoon of water one at a time, whisking until the desired consistency is reached. I like to make a batch of lining icing and flood icing, keeping the two in separate piping bags. For lining icing, which is thinner and good for outlining the bones, you want a soft peak to form when a spoon is lifted from the icing. For flood icing, which is looser and used to actually fill in the bones, add more water a little at a time until you reach a consistency similar to maple syrup. When a spoon is lifted from the bowl, the icing should ribbon down, disappearing in 6 to 8 seconds.
- When the icing on the cookies are completely dried, it's time to bury them in your archeological dig site! Use a food processor to process 1 package Oreos to a crumby, sandy texture. Transfer to another bowl and set aside.
