These cookies do just as the name implies, one bite and they explode in your hand. These were a staple in our holiday cookie baking as I was growing up, but have been missing during the past few years. This year my sister Cassie, with her 7 week old little boy in tow, decided to bring them back. They are probably her favorite Christmas cookies. In. The. World. They are light, fluffy, sweet and best of all they make a huge mess when you eat them.
