I started making this recipe when my daughter was 3 years old. Up until then my daughter was unable to eat such desserts due to food allergies. Once I began making Sugar Delights she asked me to make these cookies every week. When she entered school I would continuously make this recipe for special treats for her and her classmates. Since she has been in school for nearly 5 years her friends enjoy the Sugar Delights and she receives requests for me to make the cookies from her classmates. My neighbors also enjoy the cookies and have made requests for the recipe. The inspiration to make these cookies has come from my 8 year old daughter, many of our family and friends have enjoyed the tasty treat of Sugar Delights because we have been Blessed with our daughter Brooke.
