Beachy Iced Biscuits

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Sand Dollar Cookies Were Made for Sunny Summer Vacations

— July 18, 2012 — Lifestyle
Take a sweet bite out of summer with these charming Sand Dollar Cookies. Created and carefully decorated by the baker behind the gorgeous blog 'The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle,' these gorgeous biscuits are a great way to celebrate beach-season. Enough to make any sugar-loving beach-comer very happy, these surf-happy treats were made for the summer.

Comprised of a simple sugar cookie base and taupe royal icing, the genius of these bites lies in their stellar decoration. Sugarbelle is know in the blogging world for her enviably steady hands. A design demon with a pastry bag, she is capable of transforming fuss-free treats into edible works of art.

If you're looking to create a picture-perfect platter, nestle these Sand Dollar Cookies in with a few starfish, seahorse and clam cookies (tutorial for these designs are also on her site) and you'll have a beach-ready dessert table your guests will love.
