Sand Dollar Cookies

written by foodloveplay August 27, 2020
Sand Dollar Cookies

There is something so fun about being at the beach. I remember, as a kid, picking up shells with my uncle. Watching the dogs bounce in and out of the waves, I found my first sand dollar. It was in perfect shape. I was so excited; I couldn’t wait to show it off.

Every time we went to the beach, after that day, I searched for another one. I only ever found pieces of sand dollars and shark’s teeth. I still have my box of shark’s teeth and I still have my beautiful sand dollar.

These are fun little cookies that are perfect for whatever summer or beach themed party you’re going to. Just like going to the beach and you have to stay cool, so does this cookie dough. When you prep the dough, cut it in half or quarters and put the remaining portion in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.

Cinnamon, sugar and almond slivers are the final touches to make these cookies a delicious reminder of summer.

Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having fun.
