To start off, gather all of your ingredients: butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add more flour as needed.
For an extra burst of flavor, try adding in some red and blue sprinkles to the dough. This will give the cookies a fun and festive look, perfect for the 4th of July. You can also mix in some white chocolate chips or dried cranberries for a tasty addition.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll the cookie dough into small balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Once the cookies have cooled, you can get creative with the decorations. Use red, white, and blue icing to create patriotic designs, or simply sprinkle some more red and blue sprinkles on top. The possibilities are endless!
If you want to make these cookies even more personalized, you can use cookie cutters to shape them into stars, flags, or any other 4th of July themed shapes. This is a great activity to get the kids involved in and add a special touch to your cookies.
Now that you have your 4th of July cookies ready, all that's left to do is enjoy them with your friends and family as you celebrate America's independence. Happy 4th of July!
