Patriotic 4th of July Cookies

Celebrate the 4th of July with these patriotic cookies featuring red, white, and blue layers. These festive treats are perfect for adding a touch of American pride to your holiday celebrations.

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
teaspoon salt
Red and blue food coloring
White decorating icing

Instructions:

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix them in well

Mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together in a different bowl

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined

Cut the cookie dough into three equal parts

Leave one part plain, use the red food coloring to color another part, and use the blue food coloring to color the last part

Roll the dough out until the color is spread out evenly

Make a rectangle out of each color of dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and put it in the fridge for at least an hour

Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet

After taking the dough out of the fridge, cut each color into thin strips

Put the strips together in a patriotic way, switching between red, white, and blue

Press the strips together gently to make a block of dough that sticks together

Once the baking sheet is ready, cut the block into cookies and place them on it

After the oven is hot, bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden

After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

After the cookies are completely cool, decorate the blue and red parts of the cookies with white icing

Add stars and stripes

Before you serve or store the cookies, let the frosting set
