Calculated with unsweetened cocoa powder (Nesquik would add more sugar) and graham cracker values as the closest match for Maria cookies. Assumes 1 cup desiccated coconut (80 g) plus about 1/4 cup (20 g) for rolling. Use it as a guide, not medical advice.

It’s crazy how something as simple as tasting a dessert can make you relive memories so vividly. One bite took me back to our kitchen table, covered with a floral plastic cover, where an olive oil dispenser always sat. That humble table brought my large family together to enjoy meals and create memories.

My siblings and I made these back then on that very table. This recipe is a replica of the original version from my childhood, straight from the good old days.
