Momofuku Milk Bar - Winter Treats

I've really enjoyed having a Momofuku Milk Bar in DC, and I love that they've had seasonal treats available in addition to the regular menu.  Two of the winter offerings were the Cranberry-gingerbread cake truffles and the Maple sugar cookie.

I wasn't really sure about the combination of cranberry and gingerbread, but they went together much better than I had imagined.  Both flavors were very strong in the cake truffles, and I especially liked the spices for the gingerbread component.  I'm still on the fence about cranberry baked goods (or really fruit in baked goods in general), but I'm glad I tried it out.  

The Maple sugar cookie on the other hand was delicious right from the start.  I wouldn't necessarily choose a maple flavored item from the start, but I've found that I like them because they remind me of pancakes - especially anything Maple from Georgetown Cupcake.  The maple touch to the sugar cookie was really delicious! 

Momofuku Milk Bar at Target

I was very surprised to see these boxes on the shelf on a recent trip to Target! I love Momofuku Milk Bar cookies and always make it a point to buy them when I have access to any of them.  With these mixes at Target, it'll be easier than ever to make their cookies, or give them as a gift.  

The Target that I went to has the Funfetti Cookie, Compost Cookie, and Cornflake-chocolate-chip-marshmallow Cookie mixes.  I've had all of these flavors before, and they are all delicious!  The compost cookie might sound weird if you haven't had it before, but I assure you that it's super delicious, with pretzels, potato chips, coffee, oats, butterscotch, and chocolate chips packed in. So good!  Whether or not you've had Milk Bar cookies before, I would highly recommend picking up a box or two and making the cookies yourself!
