Agate slices are all the rage these days. I see them as book ends, coasters, necklaces and more!

I had to take a double take when I saw agate cookies at my neighbors Bas Mitzvah party a few weeks ago, made by the Bas Mitzvah girl's grandmother.

These magical agate cookies can be made in a variety of shapes and colors to match any color scheme you are using.

I thought using these agate cookies in a Mishloach Manos would make a really striking presentation. We added a chocolate bar as the second food item. I love the way Leah of OMG Design, coordinated the chocolate bar wrapper to match the agate cookies.

You will need:

• white box with clear cover 
• chocolate bar rewrapped in gold candy wrapping foil

• chocolate bar wrapper (graphics by omgdesign@aol.com)
• initial sticker (I cut this with my cricut)
• ribbon
• 2 cookies
• 

Agate Cookies:

You will need:

• your favorite royal icing cookie recipe
• gold sugar crystals 
• rock candy (loose or rock candy lolly pops broken down into small pieces)

Directions:

1. Decorate cookies with royal icing.
2. While the royal icing is still wet,add the sugar crystals and rock candy.
