TIE Fighter Nibbles

When looking for a cookie recipe, most folks aren't going to be looking for words like "gluten free," "vegan," or "cholesterol free." Most folks are going to be looking for "delicious," "chewy," and "addictive," because these are the things all good cookies should be. These are both. The name comes from the fact that they taste (to me) like Thailand, thanks to the mix of coconut and lemon, and they're bite-size, so they were originally going to be Thai Bites, but then that came out of my mouth as "Thai biters," and that  sounded like TIE Fighters, and because there is something wrong with me , I became overly enthusiastic and the name stuck.

OH and don't expect these cookies to last very long. They wo...

Rule the Galaxy (as cookies and milk)

So there's this awesome fan theory  out there that Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker isn't actually Luke's father, that Obi-wan Kenobi was actually his father, and it makes watching the prequels ... well, still a really bad idea, but it makes the orig-trig all kinds of fascinating to rewatch. I mean, they're already fun to rewatch  mostly because Mark Hamill's in them  but this adds an undercurrent of flavor. A hint of darkness, you might say. Much like the espresso in these cookies. By now, you've probably encountered cookies made using boxed cake mix , which is just the loveliest of easy cookie recipes out there, and this one is very similar to it, save that it uses espresso powder and butter and kind of accidentally gives you chewy Oreos you can make at home whenever you want . And that's just plain exciting. So join me in making these cookies, and together we will rule the galaxy as ... fat and sugar and oh god someone save me from these cookies they...
