A Beach-Inspired Creation
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.

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.
