All Scott ever wants for his birthday is a tres leches cake. Recipe found here. I will post it at the end of this as well.
Scott shared these cookies with co-workers... then they wanted to order some for an event... so I got my food handlers license, started a blog, and since then I've been working a little too hard trying to make the prettiest cookies on the block.
So I think Scott's birthday is also the birth of Sweets by Suz. I may not make a dime, but next years Christmas Cookies will be out of this world.
