Patriotic Sandwich Cookies + {More Patriotic Treats}

Celebrate with the red, white and blue with these delicious patriotic cream filled cookies.

I can't believe today is July 1st! Three weeks of summer break and the whole month of June went by in a flash. July 4th is just around the corner, so I wanted to share a easy last minute red, white and blue treat with you. 

I always try and make something fun for the kids when the holidays roll around, and these Red, White & Blue Patriotic Sandwich Cookies are always a hit. I love easy recipes that involve a cake mix, so you guessed it the cookie part is made with a cake mix.

You can use a white cake mix or a patriotic themed mix to make the cookies. The best part is you can enjoy these cookies plain as cake mix cookie or with a added vanilla cream filling for sandwich cookies. By far our favorite version is with the creamy vanilla filling.

These patriotic sandwich cookies were inspired by my favorite Homemade Oreo Cookies, but with a holiday spin on them. My favorite part is how I can interchange the sprinkles and filling to fit just about any holiday.
