Giant Dinosaur Cookies
Decorated sugar cookies for dessert delighted the young dinosaur lovers at our party. I had a lot of fun frosting the shapes and decorating them with mini-chocolate chip "eyes" and colorful candy spots to give them character. —Robin Werner, Brush Prairie, Washington

Directions
In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture, 1 cup at a
time, mixing well after each addition (dough will be very stiff).
Divide into two balls; roll each ball directly on an ungreased
baking sheet to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut cookies with a dinosaur
cookie cutter, leaving at least 1 in. between cookies. Remove excess
dough and reroll scraps if desired. Bake at 400° for 7-9 minutes
for small cookies and 10-12 minutes for large cookies or until
lightly browned around the edges. Cool 1-2 minutes before removing
to wire racks. Add food coloring to frosting if desired. Frost
cookies. Decorate with chocolate chips for eyes and candies for
spots. Yield: about 2 dozen 4-inch cookies or 1 dozen 8-inch
