kihei, HI

These cookies are so delicious, they melt in your mouth. I usually bake them during special occasions or holidays.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This version of the wonderfully classic Mexican wedding cookie is nut-free and egg free. So, it's perfect for those with allergies. The crunchy cookies have a delicate texture and melt in your mouth. They're slightly sweet, but coating in powdered sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect for any special occasion.
