DIY Sugar Cookie Sugar Scrub
There’s something so comforting about the smell of fresh baked cookies. Now, you can have that cozy feeling, as well as soft skin, when you make Sugar Cookie Sugar Scrub!
The best part, handmade Sugar Scrub Recipes are a lot less expensive and often more natural than store bought varieties. Have you ever read the ingredient list?? Nothing that you can’t pronounce here. You may even have the ingredients in your pantry already!
If you have a jar, you can most definitely make this sugar scrub recipe! I prefer to use glass jars (this is a great one) with a glass lid. Metal lids can absolutely be used, but tend to rust over time.
So let’s get making this cookie dough sugar scrub!

I can’t wait to try the sugar cookie and the pink lemonade.
This is quickly turning into one of my favorite recipes! Great for fall and winter. Enjoy, Tracy!
can this be used on lips too?
Great questions, Ani. Yes, this recipe could be used on your lips. However, because brown sugar is used, which is a little more coarse than white sugar, I would definitely test a spot and go lightly at first.
