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.
Ingredients You Will Need
- Butter. Make sure this has sat out to room temperature before trying to mix it.
- Sugar.
- Egg.
- Vanilla. Real vanilla (not imitation) always gives the best flavor if you’ve got it.
- Flour. All purpose – not self-rising.
- Baking Powder.
- Sprinkles. Any red, white and blue sprinkles you’d like!
How To Make Red White and Blue Sugar Cookies
- Mix. With an electric mixer, beat the butter, egg, vanilla and sugar together until it’s nice and smooth.
- Stir. In a different bowl, stir together the rest of the dry ingredients.
- Combine. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients to the wet until it’s combined.
- Roll. Scoop out tablespoon sized balls and onto your baking sheet and flatten just slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake. Bake for 8-10 minutes and when the cookies come out, press the sprinkles on top.
Keep these in an airtight container and enjoy within 3-5 days.
