This document provides a fun and engaging recipe for making dinosaur fossil cookies. It explains that while dinosaurs are not technically archaeology, they are a beloved subject for many. Paleontologists, akin to dinosaur archaeologists, excavate the ground for fossilized evidence of these magnificent creatures that went extinct millions of years ago. They reconstruct the appearance of dinosaurs from fossilized bones and footprints. The document then guides the reader through creating their own edible dinosaur fossil cookies. It lists the necessary ingredients, including plain flour, butter, caster sugar, an egg, vanilla essence, and optional dinosaur toys. The step-by-step instructions detail pre-heating the oven, mixing the dough ingredients, chilling the mixture, shaping the dough into rock-like forms, imprinting dinosaur footprints using toy dinosaurs or fingers, baking the cookies until golden brown, and letting them cool before enjoying. The recipe is presented as an easy and delicious way to bring paleontology and baking together.
