Red, White & Blue Cookies
This summer I am working with The Motherhood on a partnership with Feeding America on their “A Childlike Summer” campaign. When I think of summer I can think of so many great things for you to do and of course there’s Independence Day – July 4th. So what’s a great way to have a child like summer and celebrate our nation’s independence? With cookies of course. They are a very popular snack and so easy to make and enjoy. These Red, White & Blue Cookies (Cranberry, Blueberry & White Chocolate Chip Cookies) are a great way to celebrate and have your children enjoy the summer. For this recipe I just twerked my Sooner Specials recipe to create this treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup margarine/butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup dried blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). *please note that not all ovens are the same, I bake mines at 350, its up to you if you choose to bake at 375 or 350* Grease cookie sheets.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg. Combine the flour and baking soda; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in the white chocolate chips, blueberries and cranberries. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. For best results, take them out while they are still doughy. Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
I used Blue Bonnet to bake my cookies so while I’m feeding my kids hunger, I am also helping in the fight to end child hunger. You can easily join in the fight as well by purchasing products that contain the red pin. When you get home make sure you find the code from the packages and enter it online. Each code equals a meal to a child who needs it. Be sure to check back for more posts and join me in helping with a #HungerFreeSummer. I hope you give these cookies a try.
