Red White Blue Mm Sugar Cookies Food

RED WHITE AND BLUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Divide a batch of cut out sugar cookie dough into 3 parts.
• Color one part red, one blue, and if using white food coloring, color white.
• Separate each color into small to medium sized chunks. At this point you can either jumble them all together for one large sheet of rolled out cookie dough, or divide it in half for two half sheets of rolled out cookie dough.
• Once they're all pushed together, roll out the cookie dough. If it's not marbled enough, fold over on itself and roll out again.
• Once you have your rolled out red, white, and blue cookie dough follow the cut-out sugar cookie dough instructions.

RED WHITE AND BLUE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer) cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla and beat again until very smooth.
• In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Slowly add the flour mixture to the batter and mix until the dough comes together.
• Divide the dough into three equal pieces.
• Add one piece of dough back into the mixer and add a drop of red color mixing on low speed until the dough has turned red.
• Repeat the process with another piece of dough except adding a drop of blue color.
• You should now have one piece of red dough, blue dough, and regular uncolored dough.
• Roughly flatten out each piece of dough to about 6 inches long and then stack them on top of one another.
• Roll the dough into a sausage shape about 8 inches long and 2 inches wide making sure it's nice and even.
• Lay the roll of cookie dough on a piece of wax paper and wrap up tightly like a tube.
• Let the dough rest in the fridge overnight or at least 6 hours to firm up.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Unwrap the roll of cookie dough and slice into discs about 1/4 inch thick.
• Lay each cookie onto the prepared pans and bake for 8-10 minutes depending on your oven, the edges and bottoms should be a light golden color.
• Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack to cool and repeat until all the cookies have been baked.

THE BEST M&M COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
• Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until smooth, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup of the chocolates, then stir in the remaining 1 3/4 cups of chocolates by hand. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate until chilled through, about 1 hour.
• Arrange the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Roll the dough into 24 balls, each about 3 tablespoons (alternatively, use a #20 large cookie scoop). Place 6 dough balls on each of the prepared baking sheets; stud the top of each dough ball with some of the reserved chocolates. Bake 2 trays at a time until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, rotating the trays halfway through, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough and chocolates.
