Baking Ammonites

Mary Anning Speculoos cookies!



Do you know who Mary Anning is?
Well,  she was a young "fossil hunter" in the early 19th century
who lived and worked in the small town of Lyme Regis
on the South coast of England.



Since she was a baby girl,  she use to comb the reef
looking for fossils to sell
and the easiest to find were snake-stone namely "ammonites".



At the age of 12 or something more, she found her first "crocodile" 
probably with the help of her brother.
That ancient strange animal was named
by the first natural scientist 
"Ichthyosaurus"




So... this is the recipe 
give the shape that you like 
and Enjoy it!

I have only a suggest
if you want redo the ammonites cookies
use kind of coarse sugar
that do not dissolve well 
and give it a stony plot!
