3-Ingredient Biscoff Edible Cookie Dough Dinosaurs

 In collaboration with a community reading club for young kids hosted by our church in partnership with the national library, I came up with the fun, tactile and edible activity --- making Biscoff edible cookie dough dinosaurs!

The story they are reading this week is about dinosaurs so this activity is really apt! 

I prepared boxes of the kit to make things easier for the volunteer teachers and the kids. The kit includes the pre-weighed dough, straw. toothpicks, mini chocolate chips and cupcake cases.

You only need smooth Biscoff spread, cake flour and an invert sugar like light corn syrup, honey or glucose syrup. Colouring can be in the form of gel colouring or flavoured pastes like pandan and strawberry that I used for the green and red dough respectively.

Please see the reel for the full recipe and process:

For your convenience, I shall include the ingredient list for a small portion here.

Plain dough:

30g smooth Biscoff spread
30g light corn syrup or honey
40g heat treated cake flour*, sifted 

*Heat treated cake flour:

1. Spread cake flour in a thin layer (less than 2cm thick) on a large baking tray. 

2. Bake at 180C for 5 min, pausing to stir after 2.5min. Check that the temperature is at least 71C throughout. Cool completely before using. You may store it in airtight condition until you need it.

Coloured dough:

- If using flavoured pastes or emulsions, replace 2g of light corn syrup with 2g (1/4 tsp) of the paste

- As the uncoloured dough is brown, you may wish to add a little white colouring to counter the brown base if you wish. It's optional

- If using gel food coloring, you don't have to replace the syrup with an equivalent amount of gel colouring 

- I would recommend sticking with warm colours like red, orange, yellow, green & brown instead of cool colours like purple or blue as you don't have to add as much food colouring
