The story behind the Home Sweet Home (Mango Coconut Lime Cookies)
My fondest memories of mangos are of my grandmother slicing a bunch up for us grand kids and in my mind at least, I imagined that she’d give her favorite grandchild at the moment the mango seed (with lots of fruit still on it of course). Getting the mango seed meant something special, for sure. Due to it’s juiciness, slipperiness through our child sized grips, and staining capabilities, my grandmother would make us eat the seed over the kitchen sink.
Although I’m now a grown up, this is something I still do to this day. Grab a mango, slice it up, and eat the seed over the sink. That’s why I’ve named this cookie “Home Sweet Home.” Mango, Coconut, and Lime represent a lot of what my grandmother’s kitchen was about.
