Costco Releases Belgian Chocolate Shortbread Cookies

Across cultures, families mark holidays with distinctive cookies: Catholic traditions for All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days include Italian regional sweets and Spain’s bone-shaped marzipan Huesos de Santo. Costco has introduced boxes of Belgian-chocolate-studded shortbread that customers have praised as rich and tempting, though one reviewer found them dry without milk. Other seasonal cookie touches include a hand-painted Louisville Stoneware plate for Santa’s Christmas Eve treats and the cozy, cookie-baking atmosphere at Pennsylvania’s Inn & Spa at Intercourse Village.
