Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
  • 1 bag M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies
  • 1 roll (18-oz.) refrigerated cookie dough
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1 box (16-oz.) confectioner's sugar
  • 3 tablespoons egg white powder
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • Assorted colors decorating sugar
  • 3 cookie sheet pans
  • 18 small clear plastic bags
  • Ribbon
  • Resealable plastic bag
  • Printable template
What to do:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the cookie sheet pans with parchment paper.
  2. Knead the flour into the cookie dough. Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using the printable template or a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 18 cookies. Transfer to cookie sheet pans and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden.
  3. Beat the confectioner’s sugar, egg white powder and water until fluffy. Spoon 1/2 cup of the frosting into a resealable plastic bag. Divide the remaining frosting into 5 separate cups and tint each a color. Using the frosting template, frost 3 wedges of each cookie solid white frosting and set aside to dry. Frost the other 3 wedges with a solid color and sprinkle with the decorating sugar. Arrange matching color M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies over the colored area, attaching them with dots of frosting. Pipe a dot of frosting in the center and place one of the brown M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies.
  4. Place a beach ball cookie inside each clear plastic bag, tie with a ribbon and give 2 to each child as they leave the party.
Makes 18 cookies.
