3. Step-by-Step Instructions

How to Make Dinosaur Themed Gate Cookies

1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually incorporate the flour until a dough forms. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cut out the shapes: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use dinosaur-shaped cookie cutters or stencil templates to cut out the cookies. Carefully transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake and cool: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool completely before decorating.
4. Decorate: Use food coloring and royal icing to add details mimicking the Jurassic Park gates — including gates’ green and brown hues, or dinosaur features like scales and claws. Use edible markers for fine lines and text for authenticity.
5. Finishing touches: Add siren signs or park warnings with edible icing for an authentic park look.
