Get ready to dazzle your taste buds this Fourth of July with some star-spangled red, white, and blue sugar cookies! These festive treats are not just a delight to look at but also a scrumptious way to celebrate America's birthday. Imagine biting into a soft, buttery cookie adorned with vibrant swirls of patriotic colors, each bite more delicious than the last.
Making these cookies is half the fun! Gather your family and friends for a cookie-decorating party. Whip up a batch of your favorite sugar cookie dough, then divide it into three portions to tint with food coloring. For circle cookies, just follow our recipe exactly. Or, feel free to roll out the dough and make stars or other festive shapes. You can get really crazy if you want to add frosting or sprinkles to show off your flair!
Serve these delightful cookies at your Fourth of July picnic or barbecue, and watch them disappear in no time. They pair perfectly with ice-cold lemonade or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Whether you're watching fireworks or just enjoying the summer sun, these red, white, and blue sugar cookies are sure to be a hit, adding a sweet and colorful touch to your Independence Day celebrations.
And if you don’t live in the United States, I promise they are just as delicious in your country as they are in the U.S.!

Calling All Coffee Snobs (You Know Who You Are)
We know you're picky about your favorite coffee and obsess over the best coffee equipment.. But let's face it, how often are you thinking about the inside of your machine?
Coffee Makers inevitably build up scale, oil, and residue over time-- that impacts mineral balance, water temperature and flow. So you might not actually be getting the full flavor of your beans.
Luckily ACTIVE comes with a whole Year Supply of tablets to easily clear this build-up, so you can keep not thinking about it!
Reviews
If you’re going to make our red white and blue sugar cookies, you’re going to want a stand mixer to make the job nice and easy.
Why?
Because one batch is just never enough with these cookies! When batch sizes start getting larger, the pain of stirring and mixing gets a lot harder.
Check out our stand mixer product reviews before jumping into an investment for your kitchen. Your wallet and your taste buds will thank you!
Responsibility
I don’t necessarily like the word “gut” but that is the word that seems to get used when talking about the foundation of your overall health and well-being. We’re talking about “gut health” and how important that is to you.
In our recent Responsibility article, we talk about 5 ingredients that are essential to your digestive health. We hit some obvious ones like leafy greens, but there are definitely some surprises on this list.
