Patriotic sugar cookies

Project of the day: something not too complicated, right? I found this recipe which uses those cookie pouches you find in the baking aisle of the store. It looked easy and fun and I thought I'd make a quick thing for today's 4th of July family dinner.
They came out ok, they taste like regular sugar cookies, of course. I usually have trouble determining when sugar cookies are done, and having colored dough made it even harder, but they're still edible ;-)


Lessons learned

  1. Refrigerate the dough in between steps for easier manipulation. It warms up quickly, which makes it hard to manipulate.
  2. I'm having real issues with rolling the dough (see pretzel attempt). So I ended up rolling a grape-size ball of each color all together to form one ball of dough and flattening it, no rolling/swirling...
  3. The sprinkles I had were 1) too big and 2) messing up the baking. The cookies without sprinkles came out better and tasted better.
  4. Bake the cookies following the directions on the cookie package, NOT the recipe referenced above!!!!
  5. It always takes much longer than they tell you!!!!

    My name is Anne-Sophie and I've always enjoyed baking. I've decided to try and spend more time trying new recipes and would like to share the journey. I am particularly (but not exclusively) interested in French/Belgian recipes.
