Important Recipe Notes
- Use premade sugar cookies or your favorite store-bought cookies to make this recipe quick and easy.
- Mix the food coloring into the icing a little at a time until you reach your desired ocean-blue color.
- Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs so they look more like sand on the cookies.
- Let the icing sit for a few minutes before serving so the decorations stay in place.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs while the icing is still wet so they stick well.
- Place the goldfish crackers and pearl sprinkles on the cookies right after icing to help them stay secure.
- If making these for a party, decorate them a few hours ahead of time and store them in a single layer until ready to serve.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
