Prepare for chocolate chip cookie-flavored mayhem, because the cookie of your dreams will finally go on sale this Friday at Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York City.
According to Grub Street, after debuting in Austin's South by Southwest festival, where hundreds of people--including actors Seth Meyers and Andy Samberg--were given a taste of the chocolate-chip-cookie-and-organic-milk shots, the treat will now be available at Ansel's Spring Street bakery in Soho.
This perfect afternoon snack will be available as of 3 p.m. this Friday, but the French pastry chef and owner of the bakery, also known as the "Cronut King," will only make around 200 milk-and-cookie shots the first day.
The milk-and-cookie shots will be an "after-school special" that is offered seven days a week. The treat will sell for $3 per shot, with a limit of two per person, so that as many customers as possible can get a taste of the treat.
"People have already been calling just to say they're coming," said an assistant manager at the Spring Street bakery. The assistant manager added that customers should expect "quite a line."
The cookies will be made fresh every afternoon, according to a bakery representative. The chocolate chip cookie milk shot is a shot glass made out of a chocolate chip cookie and filled with a shot of cold, organic milk inside; you drink the shot of milk and then eat the cookie. The milk itself is infused with Tahitian vanilla beans for at least 24 hours before being poured into the cookie "glass."
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.
The bakery is working on a take-home pack of eight that will retail for $25.
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.
