National Sugar Cookie Day

I adore a good sugar cookie. Some may call or consider this cookie rather basic, but if made right this cookie can be more delectable than the rest.

I actually created this tropical cake recipe 10 years ago after visiting another Caribbean paradise. I decided to slightly remix my original recipe to make it even more flavorful and satisfactory for summer.
