Make the cookies

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping the bowl halfway through mixing.

2. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla. Beat until well combined.

3. Add 3 cups of flour and baking soda. Mix just until combined.

4. Add remaining 3 cups flour and mix until dough forms.

5. Cover dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll & Bake

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Lightly flour a work surface and rolling pin. Roll dough to ¼-inch thickness.

3. Cut dough using 3-inch or 4-inch round cookie cutters and place on prepared baking sheets.

4. Bake for 7–9 minutes, or until bottoms are lightly golden.

5. Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Decorate the Cookies

1. Tint vanilla frosting with teal and royal blue food coloring to create an ocean color.

2. Spread frosting over each cooled cookie.

3. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers onto one side of each cookie to create “sand,” then insert a paper umbrella.

4. Insert cheering teddy grahams into Life Saver Gummies to create floaties and place onto cookies.

5. Trim rainbow sour belts to fit around teddy grahams and attach with a small amount of frosting to create additional floaties.

6. Add Swedish Fish and marshmallow fish candies to decorate the ocean scene.

7. Finish by adding white sugar pearls to resemble bubbles.
