Leaving the Big Island of Hawaii we skipped breakfast for the sake of a little more sightseeing and picked up a bag of Stone Cookies for a quick snack on the plane. The bag did not get opened until we were in the air – Mmmmm, yummy, these would be great with coffee. Figuring we could buy more on one of the next islands, we were disappointed in not finding even one bag more. We cherished them, finishing the last cookie after we returned to Arizona. These are after all Stone cookies and as hard as they are, one could easily believe they might last forever or at least never appear stale.

It took weeks of calling the number on the bag in Mt. View, Hawaii, before I caught someone in the bakery and was able to inquire about mail order. They don’t do it. But, Aloha Baskets & Balloons in Hilo does. A very nice lady by the name of Sharla gladly took my order for half a dozen bags of these wonderful Stone Cookies and soon seven pounds of the rocks were on their way. These cookies are not very sweet, they may be the most difficult things to chew next to bones, but there is something about them Caroline and I love. So, if you were lucky enough to try Stone Cookies on your recent trip to the Big Island of Hawaii and have been wondering where to find them, try Sharla at 808-935-1939. The free bag of Passion Fruit Butter Cookies was a great treat, too.
