*NOTES: Black cherry makes the best flavor cookies )watermelon is also a favorite.
Peach-mango was different..not too bad ,
also did a lemon-berry(think it was blueberry?) they went over well at a tea part.
we're not fans of grape in this house but they'd probably be good too.
hoping to try strawberry soon!
