FAQs
Yes! If you are wanting color in the dough of these USA cookies I recommend using red and/or blue gel colors to give them an additional pop of color.
Since these are typically served in the summer time I recommend any classic summer cookout recipe. These include but are not limited to Oven Baked Beans, Summer Vegetable Pasta Salad, and Homemade Corn Dogs.
