About


Last Saturday I made these coconut delights to take to my friend’s house. We had these for dessert and they are just divine. This dessert/snack is Colombian and most popular on the coast. A soft, sweet, delicious cookie like treat that’ll make your co-workers, friends, and family go YUMMY! This recipe is easy and lasts in a tight sealed container at room temperature for a week.
