Dinosaur cookies

I got myself a pretty speculaas cookie shape for my birthday this year, and yesterday I felt adventurous enough to try it.
It went absolutely wrong, so I ended up using other, yet also awesome, cookie cutters.

The shape is very pretty, but the dough I had was just way too soft, and impossible to get back out!  
So I present to you the solution! 


I must admit, I failed all on the shape, texture and taste, but we do have a cookie-jar full of spicy tea cookies that also have an awesome shape. 

Shortbread with speculaas spices:
240g flour
160g butter or margarine
100g sugar
1 egg
2 tbs speculaas spicemix

Mix everything with a mixer for a few minuttes. At first it looks way too dry, and all of a sudden it combines to a dough. Magical!

Make a cool shape. Speculaas-shape not recommended.

Bake at 180 degree C for about 8 min.
