Introduction

If coffee and chocolate just aren't your thing (wait... who is that?), or your guests are sick of the stuff after months of truffles and mid-shopping espressos, why not bust out the green? Sure, green tea has caffeine, and these are sugar cookies, but these are laced with coconut too, and aren't anything like what you'd pick up at the grocery!
