The holiday season is here, and <\/em>UH<\/abbr> News is asking members of the UH<\/abbr> ʻohana<\/span> to share their favorite recipes. The hope is these recipes and the short stories that accompany them will give everyone some recipe ideas for the holidays.<\/em><\/p>\n

Windward Community College<\/a> student Joshua Kealanahele<\/strong> submitted his shortbread cookies recipe.<\/p>\n

“This cookie is great for the holidays because it is super ono, easy to make and easy to decorate,” he said. “These cookies are such a great way to bring family together whether it is to sit down and decorate with one another as people share holiday stories or you can bake a bunch and take it over to your friends and families house for everyone to share. I myself will be baking shortbread cookies for the holidays and years to come.”<\/p>\n

Kealanahele developed the recipe as one of his first big collegiate assignments for a Windward CC<\/abbr> entrepreneurship class.<\/p>\n

“We had to come up with a cookie recipe and create a logo and branding for it and eventually sell them,” he said. “I had a ton of help from my professor, Chef Dan Swift<\/strong>, and together we killed it. He has been a huge impact on my college career and he has shown me a lot of guidance and what it takes to start up a small business. This is why this cookie recipe is special to me.”<\/p>\n
