Cured olive oil may not be a traditional Christmas flavor in this country — certainly not in a cookie — but make yourself a present of this tiny shop's housemade shortbread ($2), and you won't give a care about the utilitarian "giftwrap." The coffee and espresso drinks are also highly regarded.
Note: Abraço is closed Christmas Day, and every Monday.

EIT, I couldn't agree with you more. I love this place and this cookie.
Folks, the name of this cookie is off-putting, but the first bite is such a pleasant surprise. Paired with a rich, deep latte - the perfect snack.
