Sugar cookies with a fun red, white and blue spin!

More About This Recipe

  • Sugar cookies decorated to look like patriotic cats are a fun party treat everyone will love! My husband loves the 4th of July. I mean, it’s his FAVORITE holiday. He is literally known throughout the county because of his fireworks display—I kid you not. Disneyland ain’t got nothin’ on us. But I decorate another way—with food. I love getting into the theme of things and making red, white and blue cakes, cookies, chips, dips, drinks, treats and other eats. The favorite cookie on the 4th at our house? My patriotic cat cookies—they’re exploding with cuteness! Happy 4th of July!
