Patriotic Sugar Cookies are a fun way to celebrate all the summertime patriotic holidays with the red, white and blue colors.

I found my red and blue sanding sugars at Walmart. They are the generic Great Value brand. The red, white and blue jimmies are Betty Crocker brand and I found them at Publix.

Your family will love these and you will love how easy they are!
