What you'll need:
- 1 bag M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies
- 1 18-oz. roll sugar cookie dough
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1 16-oz. can vanilla frosting
- 36 red licorice laces

What to do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour the cookie sheet.
- Knead the dough and flour together until smooth. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness, and then cut into flip-flop shapes using the printable template.
- Using a toothpick or straw, poke a 1/4-inch hole in each cookie to later insert the flip-flop "straps". Transfer the cookies to the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
- Frost the top of each cookie and decorate with M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies.

Tip: For fun, cover the serving platter with ground vanilla wafers as the "sand"!
Makes 18 flip-flops.
