Canada Day is coming soon. Last year I made flag cookies to celebrate our holiday! This recipe is actually a Pampered Chef recipe! Its very easy and so yummy!  I decorated them with my own creativity!  Yes I am a Canadian, but these flag cookies can be turned into any country to celebrate their holidays as well!

Ingredients

2 cups butter, divided
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 pkg (510/515g 2-layer size) white cake mix

Steps:

1) Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
2) Microwave 1 cup/250 ml butter on high 1 minute or until melted.
3) slice remaining butter into the melted butter.
4) Measure flour into large bowl, add cake mix and blend together well.
5) whisk in butter until smooth.
6) Sprinkle some flour on counter and roll put dough, cut into shapes using flag cookie cutter.

If dough is to soft, wrap in saran wrap and chill for an hour.

Bake 15-17 minutes or until golden brown
Cool completely
decorate

I used white icing over entire cookie
then I sprinkled red sprinkle candies on the sides to make our Canadian flag
and then a gummy maple leaf in the middle
I purchased these at the bulk barn.

Instead of hand mixing I used my Kitchen Aid mixer, makes the dough smoother and whipped making the cookies melt in your mouth.  I also cook them on baking stones from pampered chef as well, they turned out amazing.

 I hope you enjoy them I know we did and they were a big hit with our friends and family! Enjoy
