Explosively yummy, Firecracker Cookies just like the classic Popsicle. This red, white, and blue Fourth of July Recipe is a tasty dessert for picnics, the pool, parties or just because. Best of all this summer dessert on a stick can be enjoyed while on the go.

Firecracker Cookies

Living Washington, DC..

Since moving to Washington, D.C. four years ago, the Fourth of July has taken on an entirely new meaning.  First of all, every time we drive past the monuments and historic sites, I tear up. I mean tears come down my face and I have to make sure not to find myself in conversation or I begin to sound incredibly silly not being able to get words out of my mouth. There is something about being on the ground our forefather’s walked on before. The area is full of pride. A lot of the pride is political and military, but D.C. is a huge melting pot. There is pride for every blend of person and every country. In my small neighborhood of about 12 families, half of the homes are filled with international citizens. We are all displaced people and find family in one another. It’s like nothing else I have ever experienced… it’s welcoming of each other’s differences. It’s blending of different foods and cultures.

The Fourth of July

I digress… back to July 4th… Clearly, this is an area where Independence Day is huge. There are parades, huge performances with top artists (in fact you might watch our country’s fire works and performers each year on PBS in front of the United States Capitol.) The publicized performance is topped off with fireworks over the mall. A large National Park where the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument are located. It’s majestic. It’s beautiful. It’s warning. We are so blessed to be in a country where red, white and blue speak more than colors on a pallets.

Firecracker Cookies  

Wherever you are this July 4th, Memorial Day or Veterans Day, this cookie recipe is a must. Dessert on a stick doesn’t have to be limited to a a frozen treat! We blended together three cookies on a stick that look just like a classic Firecracker Popsicle, but, best of all, they don’t melt.

Firecracker Cookies Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 3 cups all purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Lemon, blue raspberry and cherry flavoring

Kids Baking Championship

The best thing to hit the television of our home has been Kid Baking Championship. If your kids have not seen it, turn it on. It’s a wholesome show about kids changing each other to the best tasting, self-created recipe. This show has become the best in our home because my kids have picked up a lot. I have been cooking less in the kitchen, while they pick up recipes on their own. My girls are being creative too. One day I was served sugar cookies (using a pre-made package) with lime buttermilk cream (all created on their own!) It was really good!

This Dessert on a Stick Recipe is easy for the kids and one you can step back from and focus on other Fourth of July recipes for your picnic or party.

Our Pinterest community and I  would love to see how this worked out for you. Share your final recipe.  Leave a comment and/or add a photo here on Pinterest!
