Cookie Tacos
RECIPE NOTES
I pre-cut square pieces of parchment paper and bake the cookies directly on them so I don’t have to transfer the warm cookies before shaping them into tacos. It makes getting them into the taco shape way easier.

Shape the taco shells: While the cookies are still warm, place each cookie on a square shaped piece of parchment paper and gently pinch them together between 2 cups to create a taco shape. Let cool completely so they hold their shape.
