Soirette: Holiday Cookie Giftbox and Lunar New Year Gold Cookie Tin

Christmas time has long since passed (exactly 2 months ago!) but memories of the Holiday Cookies that we picked up at Soirette this past year still remains with me… as do the extra pounds they created around my waist.

Honolulu Cookie Company – Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach (Waikiki 2015)

The last time we were in Waikiki, we got hooked on Honolulu Cookie Company. These tasty shortbread cookies are so addictive.

Honolulu Cookie Company (Waikiki Beach Marriott) – Hawaii 2013

If you walk down Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki, you’re sure to notice all of the Honolulu Cookie Company shops that tempt you with their delicious signature shortbread creations.  First started in 1997 by the Sung family, they have rapidly grown from a wholesale provider to having 9 shops in Oahu including the one located at the Waikiki Beach Marriott that opened in 2008.

Sweet Thea @ the Royal City Farmers’ Market

We were out at the Royal City Farmers’ Market located at the Quay in New West (now called River Market) in April.  The last one for the winter season, it was nice to see vendors back in the Quay for a change even if it was just for a short period of time.
