The 4th of July is my second favorite holiday! Only behind Christmas, so I mean...I feel like that is a big deal. ? Give me all the star and stripped things to wear, all day by the water, and ice-cold beverage and red white and blue cake mix cookies for a sweet treat!
And while I am wearing anything with stars and stripes on it. I am also bringing all the foods that are red white and blue themes to the cookout.

Tips for Making
Here are a couple of tips for making these cookies that I have learned throughout the year:
- This is not your traditional cookie dough batter. It is more "sticky" than regular cookie dough. Essential a thick cake batter - scoop-able cake batter per-se. With that, using a cookie scoop is crucial! But don't be alarmed by the dough - it is supposed to look that way.
- Because it is more of thick sticky dough, there is a bit more "give to it". Especially went rolling in sprinkles. If you are to just scoop straight onto a baking sheet - no problem. But when scooping and rolling around in sprinkles, it can be stickier and not as solid as regular dough. You can stick the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to help "set up" a little more but TBH I never do that because I don't have time for it. 😉
- No mixer is needed! Just use a whisk, spatula, and ONE BOWL! Bless!
- These can be made for any holiday! Just sub out the sprinkles!
- Red and Green for Christmas!
- Pastels for Easter!
- Orange and Black for Halloween
- Green for St. Patty's Day ...... you get the picture!
Frequently Asked Questions
Store extra cookies in an airtight container for up to 5-6 days.
Sure.
I find jimmies to be the best. Sanding sugar or nonpareils wouldn't work very well because they just "melt" into the dough. But use patriotic stars or Christmas trees or whatever thicker Jimmie-like sprinkles you want!
