Oh, y’all…remember the buckwheat tea with cocoa grist many of us were raving about because it tasted like chocolate chip cookies? I found its BFF rounding out an Amazon order to get free shipping.

Rewind to the 70’s in the church fellowship hall at snack time between choir and Mission Friends. “Grandma” Bacon (kool-aid and cookies were her love language) would have our cups and napkins lined up, and on the napkins were crispy packaged coconut-sugar cookies. I can’t remember the brand for the life of me. This tea is those cookies and her smile. If I’d let it go an extra minute (4 instead of the recommended 3) and added milk, this tea would be those cookies and her hugs.

Sounds yummy. Were those the cookies that looked like a rectangle clam shell with ridges along the top. Side note, now I have a hankering for those windmill shaped cookies.

I remember both of those! The ones I was referring to were more like these (https://voortman.com/product/coconut-cookie) … but they had a small hole in the center. (Then again, age and nostalgia may be causing me to retrieve fuzzy information!)

I never knew what they were called so I always called them church cookies! You had to wear it like a ring for at least a bite or two!

Now I have a hankering for ring-petal cookies :)

There’s an apple cinnamon flavor too!

…and it’s the same brand as our beloved cocoa grist variety. I wish they’d bring that one back!

Yeah I wanted to try that one… T.T
