Cookie Recipe #7: Sand Dollar Cookies!
Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends
- You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out
- You get new recipes
- You often have snacks or games!
I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!
Today's recipe idea comes from Mama Miss and before you say "What do Sand Dollars have to do with Christmas"? Trust me. They do. {Just keep reading...}
It looks like a cross between sugar cookies and snickerdoodles, that are rolled, cut and topped with shaved almonds. You can get her recipe on a PDF HERE. I think I would add the "Legend of the Sand Dollar" to a plate of these, as a gift.
The Legend of the Sand
Dollar
There’s a lovely little legend
That I would like to tell,
Of the birth and death of Jesus
Found in this lowly shell.
If you examine closely
You’ll see that you find here,
Four nail holes and a fifth one
Made by a Roman’s spear.
On one side the Easter Lily,
Its center is the star,
That appeared unto the shepherds
And led them from afar.
The Christmas Poinsettia
Etched on the other side,
Reminds us of His birthday
Our happy Christmastide.
Now break the center open
And here you will release,
The five white doves awaiting
To spread Good Will and Peace.
This simple little symbol
Christ left for you and me,
To help us spread His Gospel
Through all Eternity
