Sand Art Cookies

A friend of mine received this recipe and a jar containing all of the dry ingredients as a gift, and we made it together. It was a great gift - delicious and easy to make with the mix. So if you want to use this as a mix, just put all of the ingredients except for the butter and egg in layers in a jar and give it with the recipe. Otherwise, you can just enjoy them at home.
