What Your Favorite Milk Bar Cookie Flavor Says About You

Sponsored

There’s an age-old adage that the key to the heart is through the stomach.

We wholeheartedly agree. There are precious few things in life that stoke the fire of the soul like a sweet treat, and as such, many of us have fierce opinions on which desserts are best. Chocolate or vanilla? Buttery and rich, or fruity and bright? Some like simple flavors, while others prefer over-the-top treats. 

There’s no wrong way to do dessert—but the ones you love speak volumes about your personality. So naturally, we decided to do a deep dive into their six best-selling cookies to learn what our favorite flavor says about us. Here’s what we found out: 

Blueberry and Cream Cookie

Cookie Personality Breakdown

  • Emotions: Brewing beneath the surface
  • Energy: Mellow, but sustained
  • Romantic Desires: Loyal and particular
  • Career Path: Meandering, and driven by fulfillment
  • Curiosity: Through the roof

The Bite-sized Analysis 🍪: You’re subtle, pleasant, and a bit unconventional. You can appreciate a crowd pleaser, but prefer the more delicate, complex experiences in life. 

A hidden gem for sugar lovers, the Blueberry and Cream Cookie has become a Milk Bar cult favorite. While blueberry pie is an all time classic, the delicious fruit often gets forgotten in cookies, overshadowed by bold flavors like chocolate, cinnamon, or salted nuts…

Which is a shame! The jammy, sweet, and tart blueberry flavor is divine in this cookie, accented with hints of cream and an overall heavenly, muffin-like chewy texture. This flavor was made for people who find their pleasures off the beaten path.

Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookie

Cookie Personality Breakdown

  • Emotions: Bright and happy
  • Energy: Loud and proud, life of the party
  • Romantic Desires: Hometown sweetheart 
  • Career Path: Stable, steady growth
  • Curiosity: Know what you like, and LOVE what you know

The Bite-sized Analysis 🍪: Why change what works? You love open fields and sunsets on the beach—a cool breeze and s’mores over a campfire on July 4th. You don’t dabble with nostalgia because you kept your childhood favorites alive and well. 

If you were to cram all of your favorite childhood memories into one cookie, we’re pretty sure it would come out something like the Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookie. This decadent treat has a lot going on, but it’s quite balanced. The marshmallow is gooey, the chocolate is rich, and the cornflake lends the perfect amount of crunch.

This cookie was initially tested out as a limited flavor and then brought back to the menu promptly when Milk Bar fans everywhere rioted calmly requested its return, making it an instant classic. Pop one of these babies in the microwave for eight seconds and thank us later!

Compost Cookie

Cookie Personality Breakdown

  • Emotions: You feel all the feels 
  • Energy: Down for everything and anything
  • Romantic Desires: Do you have a type? We haven’t found it
  • Career Path: More like a career maze
  • Curiosity: Is your middle name

The Bite-sized Analysis 🍪: You have a hunger for life in all facets. You can’t decide if you want to keep growing your fashion blog or go to law school or open a restaurant. You know you should compromise and pick one passion, buuut what if you just keep doing them all? That’s sustainable, right? 

What’s your perfect cookie? Sweet? Salty? Buttery? Full of chocolate?? How about all of the above?

Like Michael Scott on Pretzel Day, the Compost Cookie is for people who can’t decide what they want, so they have it all. This extravagant cookie features no less than SEVEN essential food groups crammed into a vanilla cookie base: pretzels, potato chips, graham crackers, coffee, oats, chocolate chips, and butterscotch.

The Compost Cookie is one of Milk Bar’s original blockbusters, and it’s stood the test of time. A perfect introduction for someone who’s never had one of their treats, it’s truly a dessert where each bite is different from the last. 

Confetti Cake Cookie

Cookie Personality Breakdown

  • Emotions: Honestly, pretty positive if you say so yourself
  • Energy: Seize the day! 
  • Romantic Desires: Always in a relationship
  • Career Path: CEO or bust
  • Curiosity: Some, but not enough to derail you

The Bite-sized Analysis 🍪: You identify as a Gryffindor. A firm sense of good and bad guides you in life, and that extends to all things delicious. You are adventurous with your tastes, but you know immediately if you like something or not. Why second-guess your gut? 

If you’ve heard of Milk Bar, you’ve definitely seen images of their naked birthday cake all over your Instagram feed. With iconic buttercream frosting, fluffy cake, and exploded bits of confetti sprinkles all throughout, it’s like a wedding cake and birthday cake had a kid, and it went to Harvard. It’s excellent, if not in a traditional sense. 

The Confetti Cake Cookie is the portable version of that iconic treat, and Milk Bar didn’t skimp on the flavor. We’d suggest keeping one of these bad boys on hand at all times to give your 4pm coffee a little extra oomph (and a lot of extra mmm’s 😋).

Corn Cookie

Cookie Personality Breakdown

  • Emotions: You’re the even-keeled one in the friend group
  • Energy: See above. Not overly excitable
  • Romantic Desires: Looking for someone fluent in all five love languages 
  • Career Path: Stable, ideally with a boss who you lets you breathe
  • Curiosity: Killed the cat

The Bite-sized Analysis 🍪: Saturday is your favorite day of the week. And not because you can hit the town with friends, but because you can finally have a moment to yourself. You enjoy a cup of tea, comfy clothes, and your favorite guilty pleasure show. Life is good, don’t make it too complicated. 

If you’ve ever had warm cornbread, you’ll immediately understand the appeal of the Corn Cookie. With the simplest ingredients of the bunch, this treat is an homage to Milk Bar mastermind Christina Tosi’s grandmother.

Sometimes you don’t want a dessert that’s going to slap you in the face—you want a slightly sweet, slightly salty comfort food that reminds you of home. Pro tip: these buttery cookies make for excellent “bread” if you’re craving an extra scrumptious grilled cheese or breakfast sandwich. This is a no-judgement zone.

Chocolate Confetti Cake Cookie

Cookie Personality Breakdown

  • Emotions: You control them, they don’t control you
  • Energy: Fortune favors the bold
  • Romantic Desires: Won’t settle for less than a soulmate 
  • Career Path: Career path, singular? What’s that mean?
  • Curiosity: Is conquered through reading

The Bite-sized Analysis 🍪: Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb by accident (or something like that) and so too will you. The only way out is through and progress is a never ending journey. When you were told Confetti Cake was the best flavor at Milk Bar you thought, “The best flavor…so far.

The newest addition to the cookie lineup, the Chocolate Confetti Cake Cookie took the ultimate Milk Bar classic and leveled it up with a chocolate cake base and chocolate chips. Sometimes more is more…

Which is perfect for you. You have a 4k TV and a Peloton bike. You don’t wait for the best trends to filter down to society at large—you’re ready to find the gems as they emerge. You lead the charge whether that’s in the office, at the party, or in this case, at Milk Bar.
