HONOLULU, Jan. 27, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Whether for a high school sweetheart, a lifetime partner, an old flame, or a new flame, the Honolulu Cookie Company's most delectable shortbread cookies are sure to melt the heart of any valentine.
The Honolulu Cookie Company's signature Pineapple-shaped cookies will be baked into hearts as symbolic – and scrumptious – gestures of love this Valentine's Day.
Cookies are baked daily that follow a time-honored recipe using the finest ingredients and natural flavors from around Hawaii including creamy macadamia nuts, rich Kona coffee, island eggs and first-grade butter. Each cookie is individually wrapped to maintain its delicious oven-freshness.
A stylish and elegant memento to celebrate lasting love and commitment is with the Sweet Shimmer Gift Box. The beautiful powder-pink box with a platinum, Honolulu Cookie Company emblem contains 28 heart-shaped cookies of love.
The Rose Heart is a sensual display of passion and excitement. The heart-shaped box made from silky satin resembles a bouquet of red roses that holds cookies hand-dipped in luscious chocolate waiting to be savored.
A contemporary favorite is the Entwined Hearts for those inseparable lovers who can't bear to be apart. The box is designed with pink and red hearts joined by gold rose stems.
For a true gift of Aloha to share with loved ones, the Lauhala Baskets (made with leaves from the hala tree; traditionally used by Hawaiians to create household items) are the grandest of all of this year's Valentine's Day treats. The large deluxe basket is filled with 50 cookies in a wide variety of flavors for everyone to enjoy. Each basket is hand-wrapped with a satin bow and charming heart pendant.
The small and medium baskets are available at select stores on Oahu and online. The large basket can only be ordered online.
Smaller treasures ideal for friends or co-workers include the Sweetheart Pineapple Tote, Valentine's Chocolate Sampler Gift Bag, Cupid's Cube and Sweetheart Gift Box. Cookies come in modest quantities of six to a dozen.
Honolulu Cookie Company's premium cookies are featured in 15 unique, island-inspired flavors made fresh in Hawaii such as the Triple Chocolate Macadamia, Dark Chocolate Lilikoi, Mango Macadamia, Kona Coffee and Lilikoi Mango. Select cookies are embellished with sweet morsels of dried mango, pineapple or Kona coffee bean.
Cookies are delicately placed in signature packaging to ensure that each box is presented as a treasured gift.
