I got some news yesterday and almost literally haven’t stopped grinning. Here’s why:

Flavor #127: THE Cookie Dough

cookie dough ice cream with chocolate chips and chocolate chip cookie dough chunks

Long before MilkMade, Diana was known for perfecting the chocolate chip cookie. Until she met Laura Hurwitz, a wonderful woman who, beyond her many talents, without question makes the best chocolate chip cookies we have ever tasted. How good are these cookies? A neighbor once broke into Laura’s kitchen, just to swipe one.

We dream about Laura’s cookies so much that we’ve adapted her secret recipe for our Flavor of the Month. But this is no run of the mill cookie dough ice cream. (You know, like the kind where you mine it for the best pieces of cookie dough. leaving only melted vanilla ice cream behind.) This is THE Cookie Dough Pint. The whole thing tastes like cookie dough! Plus chocolate chips. PLUS chunks of the best chocolate chip cookie dough you have yet to taste. Trust us, Laura’s cookies are just that good. And now, so are our pints.

It seems the rogue chocolate chip cookies I am known for- the same ones described in a recent post- has inspired an ice cream flavor. Diana Hardeman, founder of Milk Maid, was in the kitchen in Nantucket, wearing a lovely straw sun hat, as said cookies were being pulled out of the oven. Of course it was love at first bite- it always is!- but with Diana’s vision and culinary talent, this relationship is definitely going somewhere.

Flattered doesn’t begin to describe my feelings. I am honored to be named an inspiration, and amped because Diana is sending me a pint of THE Cookie Dough. Check out how to order her amazing ice cream, and join me in a pint of sweet collaboration!
