Coconut Shortbread Delights another delightful recipe I found in this months issue of Everyday with Rachel Ray. These were really easy to make and the chocolate dipped sides made them perfect.
I really need to stop baking so many cookies. I’m running out of people to give them to. Alan is off work for the holidays so I can’t send them to his work anymore.
I’ve been making really small batches of cookies so we don’t have very many in the house.
What do you do with all your extra holiday cookies?
