Hong Kong's Butter expands into cookies at Admiralty's Pacific Place

2023 is off to a sweet start with cookies from Hong Kong’s favorite American bake shop.

Located on the lower ground floor of Admiralty Pacific Place is a pop pink Butter Cookies truck serving freshly baked, classic all-American cookies.

You heard us right. Butter’s expanding into cookies.

The quintessentially American cake shop, which started with just 10 items, has now expanded their offerings beyond just delicious cakes into gooey, warm baked goods.

Now, into the juicy details: There are three signature flavored cookies – Chocolate Chunk, Peanut Butter and Lemon Crinkle. Each cookie is priced at HK$25 per piece, HK$125 for half a dozen or HK$250 for a dozen.

The whole range of flavors is set to arrive at a later date, with Ginger Molasses, Butter’s Classic, M&M and Chewy Oatmeal Raisin all joining the menu.
