Richbond cookies are cookies from my childhood. I remember my grandmother tasking me for dipping them in apricot jam and rolling them in coconut! My fingers were also covered with this yummy mix and ended up licking them multiple times. LOL. I gave a twist to this cookie by adding some cardamom in the dough and switching the jam to pineapple instead of apricot! And the video bring a fresh modern perspective to this very classic Moroccan cookie. yummy!!!
