Looking for a fun snack to add some fin-tastic flair to your next party, beach day, or shark-themed celebration? These easy Ocean Cookies are a splash of color and creativity, and the best part is – no fancy baking skills required! With just a few store-bought goodies and some imagination, you’ll whip up a sweet treat that’s perfect for kids, summer parties, or even an afternoon boredom buster.

These cookies pair PERFECT with our no-bake sand cake and our beachy bears pudding cups!

Supplies You’ll Need:

Large cookies (any round cookie will work – sugar or chocolate chip cookies are our favorite)
Blue frosting (vanilla frosting + blue food coloring works like a charm!)
Colorful sprinkles (look for sea-themed or rainbow confetti styles)
Goldfish crackers (any variety… we used the OG cheese)
Pearl sprinkles (to make the cutest little underwater bubbles)

How to Make Ocean Cookies:

Frost it up: Start by covering each cookie with blue frosting. Think of this as your ocean water!
Add the “sea floor”: Sprinkle colorful sprinkles along the bottom third of the cookie. These mimic coral reefs, pebbles, or little schools of fish.
Add your fish: Gently press two Goldfish crackers into the frosting — they’ll look like they’re swimming along.
Bubble time: Pop a few pearl sprinkles above the Goldfish to look like bubbles rising to the surface.
