Carrot Patch Cookies

I hope you had a nice Easter with your family.

Ours was delightful.

With a son- in-law who is half Cuban

our daughter cooked a fabulous meal

of 

Lechon (pork cooked in spices)

 black beans and rice, 

and tostones (fried plantains)

very yum!

I made a cute little treat for the grandkids 

to go with our dessert 

 

Carrot Patch Cookies

 Recipe on Spoonful

HERE

 You start with orange 

Mike & Ike candy

and green licorice 

for the carrots

 The base is put together 

using sugar wafer cookies 

and frosting as the "glue"

 I teased the grandkids

announcing

"Grandma is making you eat dirt!"

aka 

crushed chocolate wafer cookies

mixed with chocolate frosting.

 green paper for the garden bed

 All lined up in pretty rows

Carrot Patch Cookies

would also be a fun treat for 

birthday parties

or any Spring special occasion.
