Notes

Helpful Tips for Making Beach Crab Cookies

  • Assemble the candy crab first before placing it on the cookie.
  • Use frosting instead of toothpicks if serving to very young kids.
  • Allow frosting to set for a few minutes before serving.

How to Store Beach Crab Cookies

Store leftover cookies in a single layer inside an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Avoid refrigerating if possible, as condensation can make the graham cracker sand soft.
