Making these cookies is a holiday tradition for Brittney Hart and her teen-age son. A single mom, Brittney spends most of her time traveling around the US chasing storms. A meteorologist, it’s her job but no matter what, she always spends Christmas with her son and they whip up a batch of these cookies and settle in to watch all the Christmas shows. After they chase a storm into Tarpley, Texas, there just might be someone else sharing those cookies next Christmas–Dexter “Dirt-D” Walsh, former naval officer and current Tarpley VFD firefighter.
