Indulge in the beauty of the shore with our Sand Dollar Cookie Recipe. These adorable cookies look just like the seaside. Their unique design and delicious taste will bring the beach to your home.
Beach traditions often involve collecting treasures, with sand dollars being very special. We made a recipe inspired by sand dollars. It combines seaside flavors with a delicious cookie texture.
We first made a sand dollar wreath, careful to keep the shells whole. Then, we baked sand dollar cookies that tea lovers would enjoy.
We used a tahini cookie dough from this recipe. It created the perfect mix of flavors. The texture reminded us of sandy beaches. Tahini gave the cookies a unique taste, making them stand out.
To mimic sand dollars, we placed sliced almonds in a flower pattern. We also made small cuts to look like real sand dollars. The almonds added crunch and flavor to every bite.
“The tahini dough and almond decoration made the cookies irresistibly beachy.” – Tea Gal magazine
We finished the cookies with citrus sugar. It made them look and taste like they came straight from the shore. The citrus balanced the sweetness, adding a fresh twist.
These cookies bring coastal Christmas vibes anywhere. Perfect for beach-themed parties or to add seaside charm to your desserts. They’re sure to impress your guests.

Simple and Delightful Sand Dollar Cookies
Add some fun to your dinner with sand dollar cookies. They’re made of butter, sugar, egg, flour, and cinnamon. These cinnamon sugar-coated sugar cookies capture the sand dollar’s charm perfectly. You roll and flatten the dough, no need for cutters, making this recipe simple.
To get the sand dollar shape, press slivered almonds in a star pattern at the center after flattening the cookies. This method makes sure everyone can make these eye-catching cookies easily.
When it comes to simple ingredients, measuring flour correctly is crucial to prevent the cookies from becoming too dense. Also, adjust the cinnamon as you like. For the almonds, place them evenly and press gently so they stay on while baking. Keep cookies about ½ inch thick for even baking and use an oven thermometer for the right temperature.
The cinnamon gives these cookies a warm, aromatic flavor that pairs well with the sugar. The almond decorations not only look like real sand dollars but they add a nice crunch too.
These sand dollar cookies are great for any event that needs a bit of seaside charm. Their unique design and delicious taste are sure to win over anyone. They make any occasion feel a bit more special.
