SAND ART COOKIES
A friend of mine received this recipe and a jar containing all of the dry ingredients as a gift, and we made it together. It was a great gift - delicious and easy to make with the mix. So if you want to use this as a mix, just put all of the ingredients except for the butter and egg in layers in a jar and give it with the recipe. Otherwise, you can just enjoy them at home.

SAND ART BROWNIE MIX
These brownies are so good and I always keep a few jars on hand to add to gift baskets or use as hostess gifts. The jars can be decorated by covering the lids with holiday material and tying a ribbon around the top to hold it in place. -Claudia Temple, Sutton, West Virginia

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the butter, sugar, and flour. This will ensure that your cookies have the best flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the dough from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at the recommended temperature and time. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before decorating them. This will help to prevent the decorations from smudging or melting.
Conclusion:
Sand art cookies are a fun and easy way to add a festive touch to any occasion. With a little creativity, you can create cookies that are truly unique and memorable. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy baking project, give sand art cookies a try!
