Oatmeal cookie shots

Who doesn’t like a cookie? New Yorkers love them. They grab them from bakeries, for sit downs in cafes and have them delivered to their homes in the wee hours. You can even find cookies in the finest restaurants in town, served just like when you were a kid: warm from the oven with a glass of milk. Only much better, of course: baked to order with ingredients like Valrhona chocolate and burnt butter, and served with Tahitian vanilla-infused milk. It was one of the biggest trends when I visited, with highlights at Untitled and Upland. The deconstructed take with cookie shards and milk ice at The NoMad is one of my favourite riffs on the theme, but the most famous is Dominique Ansel’s legendary shot glass forged from a choc chip cookie and filled with warm milk. This is my rendition, made with another American classic, the oatmeal cookie, and every bit as good.
