Bomb-Pop Cookies



These bomb-pop cookies are adorable and delicious treats that are perfect for patriotic occasions or any time you want a fun and colorful dessert!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Red and blue gel food coloring
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup blue raspberry-flavored candy melts
  • 1/2 cup strawberry-flavored candy melts

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms

Divide the dough into three equal portions

Leave one portion plain, dye one portion with red gel food coloring, and the other with blue gel food coloring

Wrap each colored portion of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Take a small amount of each colored dough and press them together to form a red-white-blue ball

Place the ball on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten it with the palm of your hand

Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the white chocolate chips and candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth

Drizzle the melted white chocolate and candy melts over the cooled cookies to create a bomb-pop-inspired design

Allow the drizzle to set before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container

Enjoy your adorable and delicious bomb-pop cookies!
