Dry cookie mix…..do you mean the boxed cookie mixes or the refrigerated tubed ones? What brand did you use? Trying to make this on 4th of July so I hope you answer in time. Thank you.
The 17.25 ounces bags of sugar cookie mix. They are dry, powder and then you add ingredients. You can likely use the premade refrigerated dough, I would guess 2 cans, but I haven’t tested it that way.
This is so pretty and so simple to make! We loved it!
This flag cake is delicious and SUPER easy to make. I love the fourth of July and this recipe reminded me of that time haha! I also think this recipe is perfect for Presidents Day, cause what other themed desserts could you make?
This is such a great idea. Using premade sugar cook dough makes it really easy to have a great treat.
Sugar cookie, huh? How cool! Sounds delicious!
I am definitely not the best with desserts, but this looks do-able! It’s so beautiful! I wish I had seen it the other day, before our party.
My cousin makes a flag cake EVERY year for the 4th of July. I’ll have to make YOUR version and then have everyone comapare it to HER version and see what ppl think. HAHA!
I’m all for simple holiday dishes and recipes. Anything that involves spending less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying my family!
That sounds like a great recipe! I would love a sugar cooking with icing right about now.

Nothing wrong with going simple! Especially when you dress it up for the 4th!
That’s such a gorgeous cake. It’s the perfect way to ring in the holiday too. 🙂

Beautiful and simple. Two of the best things when making desserts. I am not much of a baker so I do enjoy a super simple recipe like this. I love that the top can be changed with different fruits for non holiday events.
That is one heck of an idea! Looks good!
That is simple! Gives you time to get out of the kitchen and get back to enjoying the holiday.
