We are continuing our red, white, and blue week with Red, White & Blue Funfetti Sandwich Cookies. You might remember the Funfetti Cookies I recently made. If you’ve tried them, you know they are awesome! Well, I kicked them up a notch for the 4th of July by creating a sandwich cookie. Yep, you get two cookies with a vanilla buttercream in the center. You have to go all out on holidays!

I found the red, white, and blue sprinkles at Michael’s in the 4th of July section. I love the tiny little stars. I made the cookies smaller this time…don’t worry you are getting two cookies:) I made a classic vanilla buttercream and colored the frosting bright blue. Feel free to make red frosting or just leave it white. I personally like the blue. And the kids love it too! And you will know who ate a cookie:) Blue mouths are appropriate on the 4th of July! We have to show our colors:)

These Funfetti Sandwich Cookies are soft, sweet, and patriotic! They are the perfect dessert for watching fireworks. Grab a blanket, a cookie, and enjoy the show!

I promise these Red, White & Blue Funfetti Sandwich Cookies will be a hit at your 4th of July party!

Ingredients
  

For the cookies:

For the Buttercream Frosting:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugar together for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg. Beat until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, and mix on low speed until ingredients are combined. Gently mix in the sprinkles. Don't over mix or the sprinkles will bleed into the dough.
  • Form cookie dough into small balls, about a teaspoon in size. Place cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are light golden brown around the edges. The cookies will harden as the cool, so don't over bake.
  • Cool cookies on a wire rack.
  • While the cookies are cooking, make the buttercream frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter at medium speed until nice and smooth, using the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer down to low and slowly add the powdered sugar. Once sugar is fully incorporated turn the mixer up to medium speed and add in the salt and vanilla extract. Add the heavy cream and mix for 3 minutes or until frosting is smooth. Check the consistency of the frosting, if it is to loose, add more powdered sugar. If it is too stiff, add a little more cream. Mix in food coloring and beat until you have your desired color.
  • To make the sandwich cookies, pipe (using a pastry bag or plastic bag) small dollops of frosting on a cookie and sandwich another cookie on top. Store cookies in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
  • Note-I found Red, White & Blue sprinkles at Michael's. You can mix up the color of sprinkles and frosting to match any holiday or event.

  2. These cookies are so cute! I just made the funfetti cookies last weekend, but they never flattened out when I baked them. They were puffy, but still delicious. Any tips or thoughts on what I can do so I can make these cute sandwiches? Thanks!

  3. I may have to change them up a little bit for Canada Day which is July 1 here in Canada. I wonder if we have maple leaf sprinkles here…hum…may have to look into that!

  4. I have to go find red white and blue sprinkles, these are so fun. I could just eat the blue buttercream!

  5. These are adorable!! I love the stars too – – these would also be fun at a Dr. Seuss Birthday party. Great idea Maria, I love it!!

  7. Lovely cookies, you are absolutely ready to celebrate 4th of July. In my country we celebrate on July 28th, and our colors are just red and white, but you gave me a great idea for my independence cookies.

  8. How adorable!! These are so perfect for the 4th of July!! I just have to make them for my daughter and boyfriend. They would go crazy over these

    1. I’ve made the Funfetti Cookies several times and they are always soft. Sorry you had issues!

  20. I’m going to double this, and instead add the food coloring to the cookie dough. One batch blue, one batch red. I’ll leave the frosting white, and have red, white and blue cookies. Sounds delicious!
