These chocolatey dino cookies are not only perfect as a party snack for your next dino-themed birthday party, but little dino fans will also have a lot of fun baking these treats!
Ever since I lived in the U.S. for a year at the age of 16, I've been a huge fan of cookies—ideally chocolate chip cookies in ALL varieties! Those of you who have been baking with us for a while have probably already noticed my love for cookies 😉
For my little girl's dinosaur birthday party, we're baking a new version of these treats: chocolatey dinosaur cookies!

Recipe for Chocolate Dino Cookies
These dinosaur cookies are a perfect recipe for beginners, whether baking with kids or for your little ones to bake on their own. This all-in-one recipe is incredibly easy and quick to make.
Ingredients for about 20 dino cookies

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 180 g butter (liquid)
- 120 g brown sugar
- 140 g sugar
- 1 egg
- 200 g chopped milk chocolate
- 15 g baking cocoa
- green food coloring (we used the one from GoodBake)*

Baking accessories
Kitchen scales, cutting board, kitchen knife, fine sieve, 3 bowls, mixing bowl, hand mixer, dough scraper, 2 teaspoons, baking tray, baking paper, cooling rack
Preparation
- Roughly chop the chocolate with a knife (or use chocolate drops)
- Sift spelled flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl
- Melt butter in the microwave or in a water bath
- Preheat oven to 170°C top/bottom heat
- Mix melted butter and sugar with a hand mixer until the sugar has dissolved (mix for about 2-3 minutes)
- Add egg and beat until the dough becomes lighter
- Briefly stir the flour, baking powder and salt mixture into the dough.
- Use the spatula to fold the chopped chocolate evenly into the cookie dough
- Divide the batter equally between three bowls. For the chocolate dino cookies, mix one-third of the batter with the cocoa powder, the second portion with 3 drops of green food coloring, and the third with about 6 drops of green food coloring. This will create brown, green, and dark green dino cookies. If the green tones of the cookies aren't intense enough for you, you can increase the number of drops if desired.
- Then, using two teaspoons, place large blobs (approx. 3 cm in diameter) on the baking tray, leaving about 3 cm between them. (Little tip: no more than 12 dino cookies per tray, as they will spread during baking and otherwise stick together)
- Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes at 170°C. Since ovens vary in baking time, you should check the oven after 12 minutes: if the cookies are lightly browned around the edges, they're done and can be removed from the oven. Even if they still look raw in the middle, they'll continue to bake outside the oven, making them nice and chewy.
- Let the cookies cool down well on the cooling rack and snack.
Little tip: If you don't eat them right away, you can store them in a tin and separate the individual cookie layers with baking paper.
