Nothing symbolizes the holidays like fresh-baked gingerbread cookies. Here’s where you can find them this season:
Red Pineapple
Kaimuki-based Red Pineapple is a boutique that’s known for its customized gift baskets filled with locally made products. For December, the store is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and features lots of festive holiday decorations.
You can find A Cake Life’s individual gingerbread cookies ($6), along with dipped pretzel rods, by the counter. These soft, chewy cookies are available while supplies last.
