My kids have always been fascinated with ocean creatures. We routinely watch Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, and have always enjoyed ocean life. We made these cute “Under the Sea” Cookies that are just as fun to make as they are to eat. Seriously. I mean, you get to eat chocolate rocks! My kids were elated. Rocks! They look like the real thing but they’re chocolate!
*You can find 2 of our favorite recipes for Sugar Cookies here- Copycat Swig Sugar Cookies and Super Soft Sugar Cookies. I used a Krusteaz mix {Butter Sugar Cookies} because I love how they taste and they’re super simple to make! No need to roll and cut, just scoop them out with a small cookie scoop and back them.
Under the Sea Cookies
- Sugar cookies, baked and cooled*
- vanilla buttercream frosting, colored blue
- chocolate rocks
- Swedish fish/ blue shark gummy candies
- Dory fish candy {I found ours at Michael’s craft store}
- 1 crushed graham cracker
- Vanilla Buttercream Frosting: Whisk ½ cup butter with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Add 3 cups of powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add in 1 tsp vanilla and 2 TBSP milk. Mix until smooth. I added 20 drops of blue food coloring.
- Spread frosting on cooled cookies. Arrange a few chocolate rocks near the bottom. Sprinkle a little crushed graham cracker over and around the rocks, trying to stick to the bottom of the cookie. Place 1 shark gummy and/or Swedish fish on each cookie, as well as a Dory fish candy and a few other tiny fishy candies.
- That’s it! Enjoy your under the sea dessert!

Speaking of ocean life! I took this fun photo at a local aquarium that encourages kids to touch and experience the sea life they feature. It’s a fun place and we tend to visit a few times a year. This is my middle son saying hello to a cute sting ray. I don’t know a lot about sting rays, but the variety they have here are so comical! They come several inches out of the water (hoping to be fed something tasty, I’m sure!) and don’t seem to mind the kids at all.
