These Fossil Cookies are a fun and festive treat for Halloween. Start by creaming butter and sugars, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour and baking powder, chill the dough, and roll it out. Use cookie cutters to shape the cookies, bake, and let them cool. Prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar and vanilla, then pipe it into the bone impressions. Let the cookies dry completely before serving or storing them in an airtight container.
