Cookies with a Smile
Social enterprise Cookie Smiles is raising funds for charities with its sweet treats, says Helen Dalley. Poised to celebrate its first birthday this June, social enterprise Cookie Smiles raises money for Hong Kong-based charities through the sale of its ever-extending range of cookies and dog treats, Woof Twisters. Founded by Ngo advisor Jo-Soo Tang and baker Agnes Chin to bring some joy during the darkest days of the pandemic, its bags of cookies are now stocked in cafes, restaurants & clubs across the city, including the Coffee Academics, Hong Kong Football Club and Spicebox Organics.
