How to Make Red White N Blue Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Divide the dough into three equal portions.
  7. Tint one portion red using red food coloring. Tint another portion blue using blue food coloring. Leave the third portion white.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of each colored dough onto the prepared baking sheets, creating a festive pattern.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, you can add white chocolate chips to your design (such as stripes or dots) to further enhance the patriotic theme.
  12. Add sprinkles for extra festive fun!
