Last year, when the Cronut madness started, I never really
got into it. Even when famous bakeries
and hotels made their own version of the pastry of the moment, somehow, I never
really had a craving for it nonetheless, fall in line for one.
This year, it’s a different
story. Cronut creator and French pastry
chef Dominique Ansel created the new dessert of the moment called the Cookie
Shot and it has sparked enough curiosity for me to search for a version of one here
in the Philippines.
It’s a good thing that my foodie friend,
Michelle also likes desserts, we were talking about the Cookie Shot one day and
she said that Cookie Bar has their own version of it. She made the orders online and we had the
cookies delivered to our office. I tell
you, the suspense almost killed me (well not exactly, haha), but I was really
curious about Cookie Bar’s version.
After 5 days from ordering online,
our Cookie Shots finally arrived at the office, It smelled so good, I couldn’t
wait to bring them home and try it with milk!
A Cookie Shot is a Cookie shaped into a shot glass and lined with chocolate. You can fill
it with milk and take cookie milk shots! Others have been creative with
filling the Cookie Shot glasses with ice cream, coffee and even
Baileys! (Irish whiskey and cream based liqueur).
At
first, I was a bit afraid that the milk might leak through the cookie or worse,
crumble while I was alternately sipping the milk and nibbling down the cookie
shot glass. But it didn’t! I love this new dessert of the moment (and yes, I just ordered another box).
