You could make these Earth Cookies using all organic ingredients using a sugar cookie recipe and green and blue food dye or you can get Annie’s organic already made cookies (lemon or sugar) and massage in the dye then cook following the directions. Or you can buy any sugar cookie mix and follow the directions adding the dye to the mix in separate bowls then combining them. Note: the dye will dye your hands!

Here’s the recipe that inspired this and provided the photo — until I make them myself!
