Cute Cinco De Mayo Confections

The Mini Taco Cookies by Sandra Denneler Turns Savory into Sweet

The Cinco de Mayo holiday is fast approaching and for those who are looking for fun ways to celebrate, the Mini Taco Cookies could be just the trick. Since there will probably be a ton of actual tacos floating around, these cute confections will provide a refreshing change for taste buds while still adhering to the theme of the party.

Created by Sandra Denneler of She Knows Food & Recipes, the Mini Taco Cookies are a rather simple recipe. Made using golden oreo cookies without the stuffing, chocolate Oreos, coconut and chewy candies, it is a sweet twist on the traditionally savory meal. The golden cookie is simply cut in halves and stuffed to look like real tacos.
