Yummy Patriotic Chewies
Patriotic Chewies featured in our collection of 4th of July recipes are chewy cookies which are rich in cheese and decorated with blueberries and cherries in line with the blue and red stripes of the American Flag. Such patriotic desserts or 4th of July desserts are best baked a day earlier and stored in air-tight containers. You can also store the cookies in a jar tied with red, white and blue striped ribbon. Kids and young teens alike will find it very hard to resist your best desserts!
Ingredients 90 g Cream Cheese; softened at room temperature
1 cup Butter; softened at room temperature
1/3 cup Castor Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
2 cups Self-Raising Flour; sifted
40 Blueberries, sliced
40 Cherries, sliced
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Beat softened butter with cream cheese until creamy. Add in sugar, beat well before adding in vanilla essence. Stir in flour and mix until well-blended. Shape the mixture into balls using a spoon. Arrange them on ungreased cookie sheet but remember not to place them too close to each other. 1 1/2" apart will be great. Press blueberry and cherry slices onto each cookie. Bake for 20 minutes or until cookies turn golden brown. Allow to cool before storing them. _________________________
