To make a cookie sand bucket you'll need:
- 2 mini Round Cookies (mine were 1" diameter)
- 1 larger mini Round Cookie (mine was 1-1/2" diameter)
- 1 largest mini Round Cookie (mine was 2" diameter)
- Sand Bucket Colored 10-Second Glaze
- Demerara Sugar ("sand")
Use whatever sized mini round cutters you have.
The main thing to note is you need 2 small, 1 medium, and 1 "large".
Cut the center out of the larger round cookie.
Ignore the "handle" cookie. It didn't work. :(
Glue the bucket pieces together with glaze.
Two smallest on bottom,
then add the medium cookie,
and finally the large "ring" cookie.
Turn the pail upside down and
cover all side surfaces with glaze.
Allow to dry for a couple of hours.
Turn bucket upright and add glaze to top rim
and the inside "dip".
Allow to dry for a few minutes.....
and then add a pile of Demerara Sugar on the top of the bucket.
So what is Demerara Sugar?
"Demerara sugar is a type of unrefined sugar with a large grain and a
pale to golden yellow color.
It is suitable for a number of cooking and
baking projects, and tends to be very popular as a sweetener
for tea and
coffee.....
It is extracted primarily from sugar cane rather than sugar beets,
and tends to be more expensive than refined sugars as a result.
The
minimal processing gives demerara sugar a unique flavor and texture."
