Rico! Do you find guava en the stores in the US? I've never looked before, but I'm guessing hubby would be thrilled with me if I made these for him. 🙂
Hi Joana!! In my neck of the woods I have a hard time finding guava. Only once, I found some in an international food market. My Mom often sends me some "encargos" (goodies) from Puerto Rico and that includes the guayaba paste! I'm pretty sure your hubby would be excited! It's such a sweet treat. 🙂
Are you kidding me with these cookies?? They look GREAT!
These look delicious!! Thank you for sharing them at my Holiday Cookie Swap Around the World!!
I just made these they are yummy, my son loved them!! The only issue I had was that the bottom burned, how can I avoid this? Please HELP!!
Hola Katty! Ovens tend to vary on baking time. Perhaps, instead of the 20-25 mins. maybe check them at 15 mins.?? Another suggestion is using parchment paper instead of just greasing up the cookie sheet. Hope this helps!
