Not only were these margarita cookies crafted for her, but they also were made in the vegan version. I'm excited for the (hopefully) near future where I can see her in-person
Rereading the story behind this recipe makes me smile. Previously I wasn't a big fan of figs, as I knew them mostly via Fig Newtons. Those are dry and boring cookies, at least in my opinion. In the last nine years

I am in week two of a store bought pastry theme. It wasn't intentional, but as I made Lazy Baklava, my mind wandered to puff pastry. Although I like to master almost every baked good I encounter, puff pastry is one of the few items where I have not attempted that challenge.
