Whether you have a little boy that would love these or you just like cinnamon and sugar, sugar cookies, this recipe is so easy and SO good. Happy Baking!
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium sized bowl.
Cut shortening into flour mixture just as you would a pie crust. Continue to do this until shortening is broken up into pea sized pieces.
Whisk together eggs, sugar and vanilla in separate bowl. Once combined, stir into flour mixture until dough forms. (I like to use my hand towards the end)
Divide dough into two separate pieces and slightly flatten each dough ball into "disc" shapes. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes - 1 hour.
Once dough has had time to chill, flour a baking surface and begin rolling out dough. I like to roll mine to about 1/4 an inch in thickness.
Cut out desired shapes. (You can re-roll out scrap dough)
(If making dino cookies, this is the time you would make your foot imprint and sprinkle on cinnamon and sugar)
Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Time may vary depending on how large or small your cookies are. I would recommend checking after 8 minutes.
Notes
This recipe made 22-24 dino cookies using a medium size circle cutter.
