20+ 4th Of July Cookie Bark Recipe You Must Try Them!

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• ½ cup of butter, softened
• ¾ cup of granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of white chocolate chips
• 1 cup of blue candy melts
• 1 cup of red candy melts
• Red, white, and blue sprinkles

Step 1: Preparing the Cookie Dough

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the flour and salt. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms.

Step 2: Rolling out the Dough

Place the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet and roll it out into a rectangular shape, about ¼ inch thick. If the dough is sticking, you can lightly flour the surface or use a rolling pin dusted with flour. Once rolled out, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 3: Melting the Chocolate

While the cookie dough is baking, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Do the same for the blue and red candy melts in separate bowls.

Step 4: Assembling the Cookie Bark

Once the cookie dough is finished baking, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate and candy melts over the cookie dough, creating a red, white, and blue pattern. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the colors together for a marbled effect. Sprinkle the top with red, white, and blue sprinkles for an extra touch of patriotism.

Step 5: Letting it Set

Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about an hour to let the chocolate and candy melts set. Once hardened, break the cookie bark into smaller pieces and serve on a platter for your guests to enjoy. This 4th of July cookie bark is not only delicious but also a fun and festive treat to add to your holiday celebrations. With its simple ingredients and easy steps, it's a recipe that can be enjoyed by anyone, even those with minimal baking experience. So get creative and have fun with this delicious and patriotic dessert!
