Stars & Stripes Cookies
Toll House® Cookies For Independence Day
There’s nothing more American than Toll House® cookies. While THE NIBBLE focuses on specialty foods, we’re a sucker for this classic cookie. This fun recipe is the perfect Independence Day treat. Star-shaped cookies are decorated with red strawberries and plump blueberries on velvety white cream cheese and topped with a sprinkling of chocolate chip mini morsels. The recipe was developed by Nestlé, the makers of Toll House morsels.

- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate mini morsels

- Roll cookie dough to 1/4" thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Remove top piece of paper. Cut cookie dough into stars with 3-inch star cookie cutter.
