    This Red White & Blue Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe is actually quite easy to make and they are pretty tasty too.

    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!

    Red White & Blue 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.

    If you like seeing how to make a recipe, then I have step-by-step photos for you below. If not, scroll down to the printable recipe card. 

    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.

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

    Roll the batter between your palms to make a 1" ball.

    Place onto the baking sheet and use the reserved chocolate chips to press 4-5 into each cookie ball.

    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.
