This American Flag Cookie Dessert is very easy to make and is perfect for the summer.
I was looking for a new recipe to make back in April, and I found this recipe by Betty Crocker called Strawberries and Cream Dessert Squares.
It was beautiful, and yummy. However, as I looked at it, I thought it would could easily be adapted for our patriotic holidays.
So for Memorial Day, I made a version of the dessert, and it was a huge success in our family!
It is a very easy dessert to make!
The American Flag Cookie Dessert would be perfect for the 4th of July too.
Our main course was this awesome burger recipe.
We kept our kids busy and entertained by making 4th of July themed Crafts for a few hours

Notes
I will use a homemade sugar cookie dough instead of store bought cookie dough. This is the recipe I use: http://creativekkids.com/sugar-cookies-food-linky/
I make it and do not refrigerate it. I just add enough flour where I can pat it out and it does not stick to my hands. Then I make the cookie according to the directions above.
