The fourth of July is fast approaching and the internet is flooded with fun dessert ideas. I, personally, am a lover of cookies. Don't get me wrong, I also love cake, pies, and other assorted pastries too. But cookies are a handheld treat that are typically quick to make and the recipes usually make fairly large quantities that are perfect for a crowd, or just a cookout with friends. These Firecracker Cookies are bright and great for making ahead.
