Cookies So Good, You Would Wanna Move to Hawaii
Cookies So Good
, You Would
Wanna Move to Hawaii
The idea sparked in May 1978—to enter the cookie contest at the first Macadamia Nut Festival in Honokaʻa, the “Macadamia Nut Capital of the World.”
In Mrs. Barry’s kitchen up mauka (mountain-side), on the volcanic slopes of Mauna Kea overlooking Honokaʻa, she began perfecting her recipe. Family, friends, and fellow teachers tasted each batch and agreed—it was ONO (Hawaiian for “delicious”).
On August 26, 1978, Mrs. Barry’s cookies won First Prize. It soon became clear these treats needed a home of their own, where locals and visitors alike could enjoy them.
Mrs. Barry’s Kona Cookies opened on August 5, 1980, and has since been lovingly carried on by some of the friendliest people in the islands.
Receiving Mrs. Barry’s Cookies as a gift is meant to feel special. Each handmade cookie represents the joy and warmth of Hawaiʻi—and the simple pleasure of sharing something meaningful with someone you care about.
With every bite, you’ll taste Hawaiʻi. From gentle trade winds to glowing Kona sunsets, our cookies are made with the spirit of e komo mai—“welcome, come in, and please enjoy.”
So get comfortable, open your gift box, and discover what everyone loves about Mrs. Barry’s Kona Cookies.
