Vanilla Cookie Masjid
Ever since I created my Chocolate Cookie Masjid I’ve been wanting to create a vanilla version. I had decided that when the time came, I would design (or have designed) a new template so that it would be an all new cookie masjid version. Recently, my friend Zayneb over at zedandq.com launched ‘The Play Masjid’,…
