4th of July Swirly Cookies

The 4th of July is always such an exciting time for families across the country, celebrating our Independence. In order to honor that, I made some red, white, and blue swirly cookies.

Go ahead and make your favorite sugar cookie dough, dividing it into 3 portions. 

Add red coloring to one portion and blue to another. Put in fridge and let cool down for appx 20 minutes. 

Once it has cooled enough, place in a floured surface and roll all 3 portions into rectangles, then placing them on too if each other in whichever order you prefer.

Trim the edges to make uniform shaped.

Roll the dough up from the long side. 

Slice the dough about 1/4" thick rolls. 

Place in cookie sheet and cook for 5-7 minutes at 375 degrees. 

You can also take the remainder of the dough from trimmings, roll it out, and cut out other shapes. I stuck with circle since it was the only cookie cutter I had available at the moment. 

Enjoy!!
