RED WHITE & BLUE COOKIE RECIPEIngredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter – softened
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp . baking powder
- 1/2 tsp . salt
- 1 tsp . vanilla
- 2 – 2 1/4 cups of flour
- more sugar to roll cookies in
- red and blue food coloring
- sprinkles (optional)
- **parchment paper
Instructions-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees – yields 2-3 dozen cookies
-
In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar.
-
Add in egg and mix until incorporated.
-
Stir in baking powder, salt, vanilla and 2 cups of flour. The mixture will seem to be very dry at first – you may need to use your hand to really mix it in and if it is too sticky add another 1/4 cup of flour.
-
Separate dough into three separate bowls. Add blue food coloring to one bowl and red to another. Stir until food coloring is fully incorporated.
-
Take a pinch of dough from each of the three bowls and roll dough into one inch circles, roll into sugar and place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
-
If you would like to add sprinkles to your cookies press them down into a cup of sprinkles so just the tops will have them.
-
Gently push cookies down with your middle three fingers and bake for 9 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and let them set on the cookie sheet for one minute before placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Too get really vibrant colors (especially red rather than pink) I usually use Wilton food coloring but I was all out and used liquid food coloring drops. I kept adding and stirring until I got the colors I wanted and in the end they turned out perfectly.
Enjoy,
