CNY cookies are a must but if you want something to get 'em aunties and uncles feeling a little happier than usual, add these alcoholic ones to the mix. Hehe.
Recca Pie Shop is selling Kahlua espresso soft cookies and Breton biscuits with liquor, both of which are already pretty low on stock so you'll need to rush to get your hands on them.
