Red, White, and Blue Cookies

Happy 4th of July! While you’re thinking of what to bring to that friend’s BBQ, consider wowing the crowd with a sweet treat–with festive colors, of course! This patriotic batch of cookies are easy to whip up and let me tell you, the batter is delicious. I tried to cut some of the fat and sugar down in this recipe so you don’t have to feel too guilty about them alongside your beers and hot dogs. I got this original recipe from Dani California Cooks and tweaked them into cookies. I love being creative with other people’s recipe to really make it my own. Enjoy!

This is definitely a crowd pleaser. People will appreciate the subtle hints of color, but more importantly, the delicious flavors! If you’re gonna cheat one day, at least make it a patriotic cheat. You can always test out ways to make it healthier, but remember you need to keep everything balanced in order to keep it tasting right and holding up the right texture! Always try to make recipes your own and throw your own spin on it. That’s what makes it so fun to be creative in the kitchen.
