Cookie Decorating

  • Create the decorations by placing the teddy grahams into the peach rings. Use graham cracker crumbs to create sand and add some teddy grahams on rainbow belt candy on top. Add some goldfish graham crackers and then add some pearl sprinkles on top for bubbles. Add a few umbrella drinks to the cookies.
  • Decorate the cookies while the frosting is still wet so it sticks. You can use a small amount of frosting on the teddy grahams to stick them to the rainbow belt candy.
  • You can put graham crackers into a small bag and bang with a rolling pin to make the crumbs.
