    These Red White and Blue Chocolate Chip Cookies are an easy Patriotic Party Food recipe! These holiday cookies are so festive and fun - they make the best summer desserts!

    Kids love these tie-dye cookies because they are super fun to whip up and mix together. Each cookie will look different because each one is a work of art. So, let's get baking!

    Why we love these Red White and Blue Chocolate Chip Cookies

    These little cookies are a bit deceptive because they look like they are complicated - but they are really not! All you have to do is create three different sections of the cookie dough and then add the food coloring.

    So simple, but the results are gorgeous and so festive! You can even use this basic recipe tutorial to make different colors for Halloween, Christmas, Easter, and Valentine's Day - you name it!

    In fact, these patriotic cookies are the perfect things to serve at a cookout or BBQ. Add them to the dessert table with some Simple Surprise Patriotic Cupcakes. And if it's really hot out, make some Red White and Blue Popsicles, too.

    First, preheat the oven to 375 and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. 

    Add butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to an electric mixer bowl and beat on high speed for about 5 minutes until fluffy.

    Adding vanilla to the bowl with the eggs

    Add eggs and vanilla and beat well. 

    mixing the wet ingredients together

    Mix together flour and baking soda and slowly beat just until combined. 

    Adding dry ingredients to the wet ingredients

    Divide dough into thirds, coloring one-third blue, one-third red, and leaving one-third uncolored.

    Divide the chocolate chips into fourths and pour one-fourth into the blue batter, one-fourth into the red batter, and one-fourth into the undyed batter. Set aside the remaining chocolate chips. 

    three bowls of cookie dough - one that is blue, one that has red dough, and one that has uncolored dough

    Use a teaspoon to scoop one-third of the white, red, and blue batter onto the spoon.

    Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just browned. Remove from oven and let stand for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before using a spatula to move them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container.

    Freeze The Cookies 

    You can totally freeze these cookies, as they hold up well! They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to six months. 

    Best Food Gel For Baking 

    I used Wilton color gels in no-taste red and royal blue for the dye.
