I created a cookie for Christmas giveaways. This Christmas, all my relatives get a box of Coffee Squares from me. My sis told everyone that its best to eat this with a cup of hot coffee with little sugar and some cream. Now a hot favourite with my family, I share my recipe for everyone here to try.

I am super health conscious. I don't use baking powder, baking soda or essences in all my recipes. Some recipes like these cookies, don't even have eggs.
