A little while ago I saw this blog post with dinosaur footprint cookies. I knew this was the perfect activity for my dino obsessed three-year-old. I didn't want to use the recipe on the site because it used and entire cup of butter. Somehow I got it in my head that I needed cream cheese in the cookie dough. I gave a shout out on FB looking for a good sugar cookie recipe with cream cheese. My friend Ginger came through. The recipe I used can be found here.
So we set about making the cookies and I let the boys stamp them with their dinosaurs (after we washed them, of course.)
You can tell Stan's work because his dinos had a tendency to stomp while Kimball's were a little more artistic.
I didn't take a picture of the final cookies because they spread out and you couldn't really see the footprints. Kimball just pretended to be a paleontologist and used a discerning eye. The other recipe might have produced a better footprints but these were DELICIOUS! I ate most of them for breakfast the next day. :)
I will definitely have to try this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKate, the kids loved it. Kimball kept asking do make more the following day. I don't think it mattered much that the cookies weren't pretty.
DeleteYou are so creative! Your kids are lucky to have you as a Mom!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun!. We have a sour-cream cookie recipe that's been in the family for about 3 decades. Too bad I didn't know and I could have given it to you.
