Guava Cream Cookies

on

Guava Cream Cookies are a unique and tropical twist on sandwich or filled cookies. They typically consist of soft or shortbread-style cookies paired with a creamy, smooth filling made from guava puree or guava paste blended with cream cheese, whipped cream, or buttercream. These cookies balance sweetness with fruity tang and are known for their visually appealing pink hue and tropical aroma.
