These patriotic red white and blue sugar cookies are perfect for your Fourth of July party potluck!
It's crazy how time flies by! Here I am posting a Fourth of July recipe, school is almost out and I'm planning a summer vacation road trip (more on that later).
2018 you might well pack your bags because 2019 will be here soon! Okay, that might be a little too presumptuous but can you blame me? let's just focus on the summer and how happy my kids are that it's knocking on our door.
We have camps for the kids, a road trip from California to Colorado and hopefully some camping thrown in. Summer 2108 is gearing up to be on the epic side!
We always have a July fourth block party, as neighbors, we all bring a dish to a table and just have a massive potluck. We basically eat all day long.
Check out this previous post for my best homemade peach barbecue sauce you'll ever find! I usually make a batch of pulled pork and serve the sauce with that.
How to make red white and blue sugar cookies
But this year I think I'll switch things up a little and make a sweet contribution to the street potluck. These red white and blue sugar cookies are fun to make and can be a great project for the kids to get in on.
Simply make a batch of regular sugar cookies and divide the dough into three pieces. Leave one piece of dough as it is and add a few drops of red color to another piece and blue color to the remaining third piece of sugar cookie dough.
Roll each piece of dough into a log shape and stack on top of one another to create a large log, and that's it! After a while in the fridge, you can slice them into rounds and bake, so easy!
