Dino-tastic

I did make more than three, honestly; they just all got eaten before I could take any photos! This recipe made about 30 dino cookies (T-rex, stegosaurus, diplodocus, and a really cute raptor), but it would depend on the size of your cookie cutters.
:: Ingredients ::
:: one and a half a cups of sifted flour (I used plain white this time, but I sometimes use wholemeal)
:: half a cup of sugar (I used light brown muscovado – different sugars will get different results)
:: half a cup of butter (or margarine)
:: tsp of baking powder
:: ginger and all spice – go wild!
:: the recipe calls for an egg, but I never use one – the butter binds it plenty.
It’s a fairly straight-forward recipe – mix all your ingredients together, roll the dough out to about 1.5cm thick and cut your cookies. Pre-heat your oven to about 175 C and bake for about ten minutes. I really like soft, chewy gingerbread, so I cut my cookies thick and under-cook them – mmm!

Where’d you get your dinosaur cutters?

Courtesy of the lovely Vanessa, they were a birthday present. Mo – where are my dino cutters from?

I got them from a Mill shop in Batley, actually. I think it was Batley, anyway – my mum will remember. They had all kind of fantastic shapes.
