    You know I’ll be making these for a girls night out party! I love that there is real tequila in them! Would it be too much to serve margaritas with them? Thanks for the inspiration for my Cinco de Mayo party!

    Noramlly, I’d swoon over these cookies. Tequila is my drink of choice!!! Specifically, Patron :). But I went to a bachelorette party this past weekend and the thought of tequila makes me feel sick haha. I’m sure in a week I’ll be ready to whip up a batch of these 😉
