Dino And The Peace Offering Cookies (Part Two)

Finally, the weekend had arrived and Dino could bake his cookies! Dino spent the morning bounding excitedly around the house waiting for grandma to finish what she was doing so that he could have the entire kitchen to himself. Dino had never made cookies before and it was all new and exciting.

Dino decided to start with the chocolate chip cookies. He couldn't wait to make extra special ones for Evil Tim.

The afternoon soon came around and it was time for Dino to start cooking. Dino scampered across the clean kitchen floor to where the cookbooks were kept, feet slipping all the way. I don't know why grandma had bothered to clean the kitchen floor that day, it was guaranteed that there would be little white dinosaur prints up and down it by the end of the afternoon.

Once Dino had found his recipe and sat the book in it's stand, it was time to bake cookies!

Step One: Cream 125g of butter. Cream the butter? What do you mean? Cream isn't made from butter!

Step two: Sift 1 1/2 cups of self raising flour. Yay, time to make a mess!

Step three: Add 1/2 a cup of coco powder. Mmmm coco. The essence of all good cookies.

Step four: Introducing the special ingredient .... mwahahaha! Or if you want to be nice 3/4 of a cup of chocolate chips (alternatively the whole packet)

Step five: Mix in the "chocolate" along with anything else we need, like one egg, 3/4 cup of caster sugar, 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Step six: This is the fun bit. Roll the mixture and cut out cookie shapes. Then place the cookie cutouts onto a greased baking tray and pop the tray into a moderate oven for 10 to 15 min.

Step seven: Take the cookies out the oven and eat! Or rather take the cookies out the oven and pop them on a rack to cool. When the cookies have cooled put them on a plate and pop them into the fridge.

Phew one batch of cookies down. One to go. Dino had a fantastic afternoon cooking chocolate chip cookies, but he didn't realise how tiring cooking was. Poor Dino didn't have enough energy to bake his gingerbread dinosaurs. Thankfully, grandma had already thought of that and spent the morning making them for him.

"Thank you grandma! You are an absolute legend", yelled Dino as he wandered off down the kitchen floor to his bedroom for a nice long nap. Sure enough, there were little white dinosaur foot prints trailing behind him over the previously clean kitchen floor.

Time for Grandma to clean the kitchen floor again.
