Have you ever had Coricos? They are a Mexican Cookie made with Corn Flour. I’m a huge fan of cookies of all kinds, I really don’t discriminate. As I get older though I have to lay off the cookies because it’s too easy for me to get carried away…
I have a friend who absolutely goes crazy for these cookies – she LOVES them.
When I say LOVES them, I really mean that … she is gluten-free and so they are right up her alley. Not to mention, her husband grew up on them as a kid.
They are SO easy to make, and the best part is that they pair well with Champurrado, or even Coffee. Perfect for cold weather. My boys thought they were the BEST cookies around – that’s what they said, and hey.. I’ll take it ;)
