Patriotic Cookies

For this recipe, we’re using a really delicious (and easy) sugar cookie recipe and topping it off with some fun red, white and blue start sprinkles.

I love how soft and moist these cookies turned out. And what is fun about this, is all you have to do is pick a different set of sprinkles and you can have a whole different theme. Make them for a birthday, another holiday, or just for fun.
