Crunchy, buttery, and sweet, cookies are many people\u2019s favorite holiday season snacks. Even though cookies are usually part of Tet gift sets, most sets contain only 1 box of cookies, limiting you to that one flavor.<\/p>\n

To bring more choices to picky eaters, <\/span>Butter Land,<\/b> a homegrown bakery in Phu Nhuan District,<\/span> now has cookie sets with combinations of crowd-pleasing flavors such as peanut, cranberry, chocolate-flavored coconut, and matcha.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
