Lemon White Chocolate Cookies
When Layla and Troy (Tryla) come for coffee, there are always cookies. Mostly they come from a packet but sometimes Sherry makes cookies. These ones were fresh, delicious and a perfect match with hot coffee while enjoying a good chat and the view from our apartment in Panama City. Made March 2019.
