In this backpack baking adventure we travel to beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia and hike the Juan de Fuca trail to Mystic Beach to bake some sand dollar cookies!

Sand dollar cookie recipe:
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• cinnamon sugar
• sliced almonds
Procedure:
• Preheat oven to 350F.
• In a medium sized bowl, stir butter until smooth.
• Add icing sugar and continue to mix.
• Add eggs and vanilla, and combine until the batter is free of lumps.
• Add the salt, flour and baking powder, and mix the batter together until it is combined completely.
• Take a couple of tablespoons of cookie batter and roll into a ball. Press the ball between the palms of your hands to flatten it to be about the size of a sand dollar (3"-4" round)
• Cover one side of the cookie in cinnamon sugar by pressing the cookie into the cinnamon sugar in a small bowl. Remove the cookie from the sugar and place onto a prepared baking tray or pan.
• Once the cookie is in the pan, place five sliced almonds in the centre of the cookie, in a star shape (refer to cookie pictures).
• Repeat assembly for as many cookies as will fit in your pan.
• Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown at the edges.
