TIPS

- The original recipe called for digestive biscuits, however these are hard to come by in the U.S.  I found that coconut macaroons work great!
- The cookies may be too large for the cases.  If this occurs, simply trim the edges of the cookie using a knife.
- Consume within one day as cookies become soggy from the Bailey's Irish Cream.

Bon Appétit!
