Milk Bar, the celebrated dessert company founded by award-winning chef Christina Tosi announces the launch of two new cookie types in grocery stores: bite-sized crunchy cookies (“crunchies”) and ready-to-bake cookie dough.
Founded in New York City’s East Village in 2008, Milk Bar has long been known for their familiar-yet unexpected cookies, from wildly textural and flavorful Compost Cookies to almost savory Corn Cookies, and more at their bakeries and online through milkbarstore.com.
Milk Bar entered into the Grocery category in 2020 and, in just three years, is available in over 10,000 grocery stores with bakery-inspired offerings, accessibly reimagined for consumer pantries.
Now, Milk Bar will be adding two new cookie types to their grocery lineup: crunchies and ready-to-bake dough.
Debuting in grocery stores this Spring, crunchies are poppable, flavor-loaded cookies made uniquely crispy and airy from puffed rice cereal inside (a nod to the brand’s signature use of cereal starting with Tosi’s creation of Cereal Milk Soft Serve, credited with starting the cereal milk craze).
Ready-to-bake cookie dough will be a limited-time offering powered by General Mills, encouraging people to roll up their sleeves and fire up the oven.
Tosi and her team joined forces with General Mills to create a dough that bakes perfectly golden brown on the outside while staying gooey on the inside.
A Tosi-approved pro-tip? Bake two dough pieces on top of each other for an extra delicious, Milk Bar bakery-sized cookie.
Crunchies will launch in 4 flavors: Brown Butter Chocolate Chip, Cinnamon Toast, Pretzel-y Chocolate Chip, and Vanilla Butter Crunch, and will be found in retailers like Whole Foods, Giant, Stop and Shop, and more.
The ready-to-bake cookie dough will launch in 2 flavors: Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow and Fruity Cereal and will be found in retailers like Target, Kroger, and more.
Cookie expansion continues to dominate Milk Bar’s innovation pipeline for 2024 and beyond: from sandwich cookies to cookie-inspired snack cakes and more.
Ice cream pints, many of which are flavors inspired by Milk Bar cookies, will also continue to complement the cookie offerings.
