Sugar Cookies
Gina Duarte is the owner of Gina’s Anykine Grinds Café in Waimea town. Her mother, Chantal, worked at the old Waimea Dispensary, which now houses the Kauaʻi Police Department’s substation. The office ladies and nurses always shared recipes, and this is how Chantal acquired this delicious sugar cookie recipe.
Gina’s Mom also fondly remembers Grove Farm’s very own Beau Acoba’s grandma, Florentina Acoba, who also worked at the Waimea Dispensary – sharing her family recipes.
