Abstract

This scientific article presents the development and implementation of a community engagement project centered around the creation of "Prehistoric Rain Cookies." The project was undertaken in Desa Lempong, Kecamatan Jenawi, Kabupaten Karanganyar, Provinsi Jawa Tengah, situated in the vicinity of Mount Lawu, Indonesia. The primary goals of the project were twofold: first, to incorporate geological inspiration from ancient volcanic rock formations into culinary art, specifically in the form of unique cookies; and second, to foster geotourism combined with ecotourism as a means of empowering the local community socially, culturally, and economically. Through a series of direct interviews with the Lempong community, the most sought-after products by tourists visiting Mount Lawu were identified. Subsequently, the selected product, "Prehistoric Rain Cookies," was developed to resemble the accretionary lapilli rock formations found in the area. The cookies were packaged in two distinct shapes to resemble the original rock formations further. Legal procedures were followed, including copyright registration, to ensure the protection of the cookie creation. The project concluded with the handover of the cookies to the Lempong Village authorities, aiming to inspire local innovation, enhance cultural and economic growth through ecotourism, and serve as a geological educational tool for visitors to Mount Lawu. The implications of this project highlight the potential for incorporating scientific research findings into culinary creations to promote local empowerment and stimulate geotourism initiatives
