Recipe 65: Coconut Sandwich Cookies
My new friend Genoa went back and read every single blog I’ve written. When she asked if she could help me bake, the answer was simple: no.

I had to make something sparkly, because duh. After many failed attempts of spraying glitter onto cookies, I decided to go with the tried and true glitter ball.
My most loyal readers will remember these as Recipe 3. If you aren’t familiar, please go read it. Continue reading
