From the Whipped Kitchen: The Mango Graham Cookies Recipe

Lately we've been experiencing the sudden raise in temperature. Just means to say that Summer is officially kickin in. Yay or Nay?! A lot different in compared to last year, the prelude month to summer stays a bit colder that of now. Better get those summer gears out from your closets because it'll be coming I think earlier.
So, like one of my dreams of having a Coffee Shop, I also dream
of releasing new flavors for my creations in every event of the year like, Summer. *wink*
My inspiration I got from what my mom brought yesterday, which is an ice cream stick. Yes, a famous ice cream brand released a Mango Graham flavor on their list. But what Mango has got to do with the weather? You see, we are very fond of making shakes and the likes, anything that has a big participation of shaved ice. And the most popular of all is, right. Mangoes. Proud to say that the Philippine Mangoes are the best in the world. In short, I made a bold imitation of the famous Mango Graham in my cookies. Hope you enjoy my cookies as much as I do and lets celebrate Summer!
