Divide cookie dough into 3 parts.  Color one part blue and another part red then leave the third plain. Knead each one to make sure the color is distributed evenly.

Cover each cookie dough color in its own plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.   Remove cookie dough from fridge and let sit for about 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.  Break the  cookie dough colors into several small spheres, about 2 inches in size.

 

piecing colored dough together

 

Sprinkle your pantry mat with flour and place and press the different color cookie dough spheres together, alternating colors.  Sprinkle a rolling pin with flour. 

 

Cutting stars out of the dough

 

Roll out the dough until it’s about ½ an inch thick.  Cut out 12-14 star cookies and place about an inch apart on lined cookie sheet.

Note: To re-roll dough, be sure to piece the cut-up dough together (rather than re-shaping it into a ball and rolling) because this will keep all the colors in-tact.

Bake your 4th of July sugar cookies for 6-7 minutes. Carefully remove from the cookie sheet and  allow to cool on a wire rack.

  You could sprinkle each one of the star cookies with additional sugar while they are still hot if you wish.  But you don’t need it, they are sweet and delicious
