Hey there! Thanks for this great new way to make this great old treat! I have a question!
In the past, I’ve found this cookie does not set up on a humid day, for me. Would using the microwave change that experience? Or would it be the same thing, due to the sugar needing to harden a bit?
Also, I wonder if instead of cocoa, using peanut flour would work. Imagine! 😀
