Cronut Creator Dominique Ansel Introduces Chocolate Chip Cookie Shots at SXSW

And you thought regular shots were good. Cronout creator Dominique Ansel has created chocolate chip cookie milk shots--a sweet pairing if we ever saw one.

Famed pastry chef Ansel has done it again. The New York pastry chef has come up with an ingenious creation that manages to capture everything comforting about childhood and still take the milk and cookie industry by storm.

They newest creations are called chocolate chip cookie milk shots, ABC News reported. Chef Ansel made the announcement on his Instagram account on Thursday.

A chocolate chip cookie milk shot is a shot glass made out of a chocolate chip cookie and filled with a nice shot of cold milk inside; drink your shot then eat the cookie. According to Grub Street, the cookie dough is "extra-aerated" and baked in a cylindrical mold, so the cookie glasses remain "crispy and moist in parts," even when they hold milk. The pastry is served at room-temperature.

Chef Ansel told Eater that he came up with the idea after having his first Oreo cookie, which he was advised to eat with a glass of milk. Apparently cookies and milk is not "a natural combination in French culture," Ansel said.

"If everyone was drinking milk with cookies, you might as well make a dessert that allows them both to be combined," Ansel told Eater.

This latest creation follows other delicious treats, like the Cronut, a croissant-doughnut hybrid which he debuted in May of 2013. At least two Pittsburgh restaurants are now making their own version of the Cronut dessert.

A spokesperson told ABC News the first chocolate chip cookie milk shots will be sampled on Sunday, March 9, at Austin's South by Southwest Festival. No response on whether the chocolate shots will be going national.

"As of right now it's exclusively for SXSW," the spokesperson said.
