This is a variation on a sugar cookie made with coconut oil. It tastes similar to a shortbread cookie, but they are very moist and delicious. Roll tops of cookies in sugar or colored sugar before baking for a festive treat. Cinnamon sugar works well, too.

This egg salad recipe is the best and easy to make with chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, and mustard. I like to add green onions for some color and crunch. It tastes wonderful in a sandwich and will definitely be devoured at picnics! It's really good on rye.
