These adorable Dinosaur footprint shortbread cookies are brought to you thanks to Ecover arranging for me to have a Spring Clean which gave me and the boys time to have fun in the kitchen. Read on to get our delicious three ingredient recipe and also find out more.
When Ecover contacted me and asked if I would like a spring clean with their products I jumped at the chance. I love having a clean house but sometimes struggle with finding the hours in the day. Ecover wanted to see what #CleaningSuprises the spring clean unearthed. Well, the cleaners found a toy dinosaur in the kitchen. My boys are eleven and nearly ten, so I have no idea how long this dinosaur had been hiding.
The brilliant thing about Ecover products is that they do a fantastic job, so much so the cleaning company took them all with them when they left! They are strong on dirt but gentle on the environment and my family and I feel safe using them. I even feel safe allowing my kids to use them too.
But with the extra hours that I had from the cleaning, The boys and I set about making some shortbread and then dinosaur got in on the act!
Dinosaur footprint shortbread
Shortbread is great to make with kids. It only has three ingredients and tastes delicious!
Ingredients:
- 50g or 2oz caster sugar
- 100g or 4oz of Flora Buttery or Butter
- 150g or 6oz plain flour
How to make dinosaur footprint shortbread
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C or has mark 4.
If you are using butter then it needs to be at room temperature, which is why I often use Flora Buttery for this as you can use it direct from the fridge.
Cream sugar and butter in a mixer or a mixing bowl (we are loving the new Sage mixer scraper). The secret to knowing when butter and caster sugar is creamed is to look out for the change of colour (It will go lighter).
Then add the plain flour and combine.
Wrap the dough in cling film and pop in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Take out and roll out to 1/2cm thick and cut out your shapes.
Then let the dinosaur roam over the shortbread and cake.
Sprinkle with some caster sugar over the top (we used maple sugar).
Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
Win a Spring Clean with Ecover
I am a BIG fan of Ecover products and have been using their floor soap for over 15 years (gosh that makes me sound old), but we had a slate floor in our old house and it was the perfect product for it!
I have always been concerned with what I use in our house after learning that there can be health risks associated with some cleaning products and having a child with a chest condition.

Win a Spring Clean
I don’t think I’ve come across anything strange yet, but never say never!
When cleaning our new house after first moving in we found all sorts of things lost by the last owner. A bright pink soft toy elephant behind the radiator was the weirdest.
A wrinkled tiddly wink sausage under a cupboard in the kitchen – Heaven knows how long it had been there! I thought it was a severed finger!
I hadn’t thought about using toys like that for cookies, great idea my little would love! I have used Ecover in the past too, its great stuff.
I purchased the ecover washing up liquid and i really like it – also it has lasted me ages! I love the look of the other products and like the fact we are doing our bit for the environment.
Lovely biscuits! x
I love the footprints, such a cute idea! I also always use environmentally friendly cleaning products but Ecover needs to bring its prices down if they want more people to use their stuff, I find they are outrageously expensive. Luckily in France every supermarket chain does their own home brand green stuff which is half the price and just as good!
Money, very unusual to find that in my house lol
We were cleaning out the shed in our new house and cam across a ceramic nazi bulldog it was the creepiest thing ever
plenty dust and dirt
false teeth
I once found a pickled onion down the side of the sofa I’m blaming my husband for this one he’s very clumsy when eating!
A bit of party cake squashed right under the sofa
A kitten under the stairs! She must have come in through the cat flap in the kitchen and then got scared by our beastly Tom cats! Thankfully her owner came lookin for her later and they were reunited!
Euros (paper money too!) That we’d left in a suitcase for next time and they must have fell out into our storage area. Found them when having a good clear/car boot out hoping to raise some much needed funds!
Your dinosaur shortbread looks great. I’m a big fan of Ecover.
I found my old wedding ring that i though was lost forever!
Not strange odd…but I did find Christmas presents I’d hidden behind a bath panel 2 years previously during one particularly vigorous spring clean!
Love Ecover! Strangest things I find are normally things that the cat has hidden. Toys, sometimes treats.
I found Dragonfly in a little case in a second hand sofa I was cleaning before using! Thought that was strange!
Something very shrivelled. I expect it was once an orange
I once found a gooseberry, which was strange as i cant ever remember having gooseberry’s in the house only to discover it was a hairy green grape.
Such a fantastic idea using toys for cookies like that! Ecover is the best! I have only just discovered it and will never go back! 🙂
These look lovely, what a great idea.
Ecover products are fab and safe to use in homes with children
When cleaning recently I found my daughters tiny bracelet that hospitals put around your new borns arm with name etc on. It made me so happy, I thought that I had lost it forever.
Isaac is INTO DINOSAURS AT THE MOMENT and I know he would love to make theses
I love cover products! Fab comp!
Lovely
I found a small Easter card made by my daughter years ago down the settee, & she’s now an adult.
A hoard of toys that the cat had hidden – well, toys and other stuff of ours that she’d claimed as toys!
Sorry, but I cannot think of anything odd I’ve come across..just dust bunnies! Lol 😀
I once found an old clay pipe in the attic
my shopping list from the xmas before
Mainly bits of lego!
awesome prize
A squashed hardened currant under the sofa! Bit worried we had mice until i realised what it was!
It’s really nice to see your kids hand on baking. I love baking with my niece it’s do much fun.
Quite often find things my cats bring it – strangest was rabbit’s foot x
A dead bird
An earing back, had searched for ages when it got lost to no avail, taking daughters carpet up we found it, couldn’t believe it.
A frog! Well several actually. We think one of the cats went through a phase of bringing them in. All alive (if a little fluffy with cat hair) and safely returned to the pond.
My sons girlfriend must have spilt coke under the sofa bed on the laminate flooring and then her long black hair had become all stuck in it so it looked like the Ring girl had melted! Gross! It was 9 months ago since she last stayed here!
2 Christmas presents meant for my daughter found 5 months later in the summer! 🙂
A very moldy biscuit lol
A Viagra tablet just under the sofa! I can guarantee it belonged to no one in the house but was rather grubby so must have been brought in caught in the tread of a shoe as because we have wooden easy to clean floors, we are quite bad for tramping around the house in muddy boots.
Tissues under the Bed – a clump of them!!
A model of my teeth found under the sofa …. from a visit to the dentist for a crown and long forgotten about! (How did they get there???)
Love the footprints great idea
What a treat to have a full on spring clean! Great cookies too!
I found a bracelet and some earrings that didn’t belong to anyone in the house! We had lived in the house for about two years. We never found out who they belonged to.
I never found anything particularly unusual while cleaning my house, but once many years ago I was working in a hotel in Switzerland and helped one of the chambermaids cleaning a room to get ready for new arrivals there I found 1000 swiss francs in drawer
never found anything unusual wile cleaning
Some of the things I’ve found whilst cleaning are too shocking for a nice blog like this 😉 I did find two chocolate Easter eggs whilst doing a spring clean a few days ago…nothing strange in that you might think – leftovers from the ‘egg hunt’ maybe?…but no-one was at home during Easter as we were at my parent’s house?? weird!
That shortbread looks so easy to make! I’ll be trying this with the kids x
I found a pile of old buttons under the bath of our new house unsure why they was there :{
A dried up frog! my cat must have brought it in and patted it under the bureau x
A dead crow…that my cat brought in (behind the TV)
I found my son’s favourite soft toy down the back of the radiator five years after he had lost it!
a half eaten apple when i first moved into my home…. more gross than weird i guess!
Doing the laundry a gold ring where it came from I don’t know but I got £200 for it
Can’t think of anything too unusual that I’ve found while cleaning. But maybe that just means I need to clean a bit more thoroughly!
When I moved into my flat I was cleaning out the utility room and found a single wooden shoe stretcher
An ashtray full of *herbal* cigarettes on top of the kitchen cupboard, left by the previous owners of the house!
everything in teens room 🙁
I’ve never actually used the Evover products in my home but would love to see how well they do. I usually find dog hair and Lego in the most random of places!
A sausage down the sofa!
The shortbread looks delicious! Love the dinosaur footprints.
I have found all sorts of things under sofas and beds and occasionally under the fridge. Odd socks, bits of Lego, various cat-related things such as toys and, er, something that should have been in the litter tray and one of the children’s books that we had turned the house upside down looking for.
I found a pair of boy’s shoes after my daughter’s birthday party. I have two daughters! Turns out one of the little boys went home with no shoes on!
Nothing
I once found a large cat on the top floor of my house. I had run upstairs in the dark and it jumped on me. I screamed the house down. It has even pooped on our new carpet.
I had never thought of using dinosaurs to make footprints in cookies. My little boy is going to love making them.
Last year I found a nappy pin behind a bookcase. My ‘baby’ is 41 this year ! 🙂
An old style 5p coin
A dead mouse
Nothing strange, just the usual crumbs, underwear, socks. Nothing strange as it’s just my boyfriend and myself, wait until I have children then I might find strange things x
When my kids were little I used to find pieces of toast in the video player all the time.
some sweets!
conkers under the sofa. On the plus side conkers are meant to keep spiders away! Lol
I always find money the kids seem to leave it all over the place
A feather, despite no bird or pet ever being inside my flat
False nails blocking the bathroom sick – bleugh! They were not mine but belonged to the previous owner!
A large clump of my daughter’s hair. she was only 5 when she decided to give herself a haircut and she hid the cut hair behide the settee as she thought that I wouldn’t notice x
Usually just find a few nuts down the back of the sofa but my favourite is money!
A very old newspaper when cleaning out the loft
Dried up yogurt pot under the kids bunk beds
I thought we had mice last year when I move the washing machine … turns out my grandson was not as keen on eating raisins as we had thought and had been hiding them!
Nothing really strange! With 2 young children though I am sure there will be!
Lots of bottle tops my cat had stolen off the kitchen work surfaces to play with and been lost under the sofa
Great idea, I could do with a good spring clean myself, might even find the time to bake with my daughter too!
I found all of my credit cards hidden in my daughter’s room after she ‘borrowed’ them. She is three!
was shocked when found a live frog in my 5 yr olds sock draw
Cleaned out our loft when we moved in and found a very bizarre portrait of the previous owners. They obviously hated it as much as we did, seeing as it was in the loft…!
Fun for the kids
I’m always finding what I think are strange things when I’m cleaning. My husband is an engineer and I’m always finding small parts he’s dropped around the house. I have no idea what most of them are.
A ladybird in a matchbox 🙂 my daughter had taken in a pet!
I once found a very very very old antique food colouring bottle in the back of my MIL cupboard with a use by date in 1980 – she told me its fine and to put it back haha
Probably money, that is rare 😉 but joking aside a ring I lost ages ago and thought was gone for good.
Whilst cleaning I found an old coin from the 1900’s. I had no idea how it got under the fridge. New home new fridge etc
Nothing too unusual just dust and grime
A tin of golden syrup half eaten with a pork pie in it!!
A mouse behind the fridge. We think the cat had brought it in. We managed, eventually, to catch it, and let it go but we had to keep the cat in for the next few hours, or she would have just gone a-hunting again.
A box of foreign coins and british pennies (at least 500 of them) from the previous tenant up in a rafter!
Buttons and backs of earrings.
Nothing really
I cant think if anything strange
a tooth
I often find stones and rocks in the laundry basket. Our pug likes to burrow around in big piles of clean washing and he’ll usually drop a stone that he’s picked up out of the garden to chew
What a great idea, the footprints look great, and then clean up afterwards with the cleaning solutions, that a friendly on kids!
During my big spring clean last week I found a big sea shell under my sofa! the scary thing is I wonder how long it was there because it has been a long time since we last visited a beach lol
I have found Christmas presents in a cupboard after Christmas. I know box them.
Fingers crossed!
First off, awesome cookies from the boys! Perfect for a Dino party! Secondly, not so much weird, but my god, when we had to move the sofa to replace it with a new one, I’m ashamed to say we found many little bits and bobs that went missing over the years (for shame! our sofa was too heavy to move!!) things like cat toys, game pieces, christmas decorations… and lots of dust 😮
A crumby, hairy grape!!
A huge stash of chicken nuggets and chewy vitamins. My son had been hiding food instead of eating it
The best I found was a tub of heads…
Lego heads!
Cleaning my daughters coat I always find strange things in her pockets, from rocks she has picked up to lolly sticks, hair grips and coins. Its gross!
I find spoons all over my 17 year old son’s bedroom, I guess he is too lazy to bring them to the kitchen!
a mouldie satsuma that my young son had hidden behind his books from his lunchbox that he decided he didn’t want to eat
Awesome! I just love how your boy used his dinosaur to make the actual footprints! Fantastic #BakeoftheWeek idea!
A False tooth!
Those biscuits look delicious. The Ecover range is great i’ve tried it too, the washingup liquid smells divine x
Your dinosaur model did make me chuckle! Great idea for livening up shortbread cookies. We love Ecover in this house – The washing liquid seems to last for ages and is definitely kinder to hands that do a lot of baking! Thanks again for joining in with #BakeoftheWeek x
I found my Pandora bracelet again after more that a year, but I had felt so guilty about losing it, that I bought a new bracelet and all my favourite charms again … and now I have two!
While cleaning out my dads kitchen cupboard for him I found his war models in a tin, what a wonderful find.
Grapes and sweetcorn, my parrots eat these all the time so they get everywhere!

I find socks – that I don’t remember ever seeing before!
Such a simple idea but so effective and easy for kids to do themselves. We always use Ecover laundry liquid and fabric conditioners, they’re my favourites. Thanks for joining in with #BAKEoftheWEEK – round up and new week’s linky is now live on my site.
Silverfish – oops more frequent leaning required then ?
I thought I had found a huge black plastic spider once – until I touched it and it scurried away!
I am still traumatised.
can honestly say i don’t think i’ve come across anything that would be classed as unusual or strange
A dead frog that, I guess, one of my cats brought in!
Best cleaning trick is to make it part of your normal weekly routine, in a simple way so it doesnt seem a chore!
Most interesting thing I’ve found is money down the back of a sofa…. it’s what you spend it on that makes it interesting
Cat fleas when we moved in our new home. A lovely gift left by the previous owners
A full sized street sign in the loft – left by previous occupants
I used to be a professional cleaner of executive homes and the most unusual thing I have ever found was glass bottles full of human urine – in the kitchen!! Needless to say, ‘executive’ homes was rather a ‘loose’ description. In reality I cleaned all sorts of houses, the rich to the poor. Some people were clean, others were not.
A pile of cat biscuits under the sideboard carefully carried from the cats bowl and store for ‘hard times’ by the resident mouse (very very old cat!)
An individual key – still never found what or where it is for though!
A mushroom growing out of my brothers carpet under his laundry basket in his student digs
I find money in drawers quite often, but that’s because I hide it there on purpose and try to forget about it so it’s a nice surprise!
plasters :S lol
A left over pizza slice!
Probably dusty lego underneath the washing machine!
Found a bag of old coins
I once found a packet of chicken noodles that had fallen down the back of the kitchen drawer. They must have been there from a previous tenant in the flat. They were still intact and in date, so my boyfriend ate them!
A very cute (but very flat & dead) frog – under a bookshelf.No idea how it got there!!
a pair of nail clippers for a dog!!!
A forgotten bag of what was once radishes, apparently – vile liquid, which had fallen down behind a cupboard, never to be seen again, the mysterious smell coming from the kitchen. Blurgh!
I love the dinosaur shortbread, what a great idea.
An old newspaper dated 20 years old
he put sweets in video recorder
Christmas presents I forgot to wrap for the children, oooopsss x
A lego spider-man head

Just Lego, it gets everywhere! I have a little jar in the kitchen where I collect all the odd pieces!
Plastic milkshake lids behind the sofa that my cats seem to prefer to all the toys I’ve bought them
Found nothing unusual but I’m forever finding Lego where it shouldn’t be

The pickle out of a Big Mac – Grrrr I was not happy!
I found a wooden spoon behind the sofa – my son was trying to reach something and that was the only thing he could think if using!
Most unusual thing has to be an old penny in the back of the sofa, to this day we do not know where it came from

My dog’s antler toy – it was a shock!
Nothing really unusual but I did find a watch right inside the sofa lining, it had been there about five years.

Shortly after moving in with my then fiance, i was cleaning out the cleaning cupboard as it was a mess…and found 32 dusters. He was then known as Gavin 32 dusters for a long while after that. This was a strange find because (even now 10 years later) ive never seen him dust once.

Well, I try not to clean too much (!), in fact I’ve just asked my hubby and he said to answer “What’s cleaning?”! I usually find weapons from superheroes, boots from Action Man, or dragon flames and spears. The latter two have also been extracted from the internal workings of my washing machine too!
I found a lolly pop stick stuck to one of my daughters clothes in her draws…after I asked here to tidy her room, hmm I’m guessing she just threw everything that was on the floor into the draw! kids gotta love em! lol
i clean for a living and do a lot of deep cleans,and clearing before cleaning,you would be totally horrified at some of the things i find in the worst places,one particular house the toilet was blocked and they had a container next to the toilet,which was also full,that was bad enough,we then went on to find carrier bags full of toilet waste in all rooms of the house,that was not a pleasant job at all!!certainly went through mound of cleaning products on that job!!bah!!
A dried pea
The most unusual thing I found was the torso of what I think was once an action man in the cupboard under the stairs when we first moved in.
