After spending 22 years as an architect/interior designer in the corporate world, Beverly Horii has taken the plunge and has launched Jinja Ninja, a designer cookie company. The name started as an ongoing family joke when Bev baked gingerbread cookies for their martial arts group. Armed with a killer gingerbread recipe and lots of gumption, the Jinja Ninja company took everyone by storm with the invention of the "mookie" (see mookie description).
(By the way, the whole family currently has their red belt in Ninjitsu).
