# Festive Cereal Cookies Momofuku Milk Bar is Serving Cornflake Peppermint Cookies for the Holidays By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-12-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momofuku-milk-bar References: [milkbarstore](http://milkbarstore.com/main/stores/) & [bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2016-11-28/how-pastry-chef-christina-tosi-built-the-momofuku-milk-bar-empire) With New York City decked out in Christmas lights and other holiday decorations, [Momofuku Milk Bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chili-crunch-cookies) is bringing back its cornflake-chocolate-chip-peppermint cookies for another year. Like the bakery chain's other offerings, the cookies combine the taste of a classic dessert with unexpected ingredients for a deliciously indulgent treat. The cornflake-chocolate-chip-peppermint cookies originally made their debut back in 2008, after owner Christina Tosi's mother sent her a care package with dozens of broken candy canes. The candy canes were then added to the popular cornflake-chocolate-chip cookies, thus creating one of Momofuku Milk Bar's most iconic treats. Now the sugary sweet biscuits have returned for another year, along with the [cornflake-peppermint marshmallow cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-magic-cookie), which feature the surprise addition of mini marshmallows. Currently available for reservation in New York City or for pick up at the Union Square Holiday Market, these treats are perfect for fans of Tosi's other indulgent desserts or for those attending Trend Hunter’s [New York innovation conference](http://www.futurefestival.com/newyork) who are looking for a way to immerse themselves in contemporary foodie culture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Indulgent Dessert Combinations:** Combining unexpected ingredients with classic desserts for a deliciously indulgent treat. - **Creative Use of Leftover Ingredients:** Repurposing broken candy canes and other leftover ingredients to create unique and flavorful cookies. - **Surprise Additions to Traditional Recipes:** Adding mini marshmallows and other unexpected ingredients to traditional cookie recipes for a delightful twist. ### Where This Applies - **Bakery/food Service:** Opportunities to create innovative and indulgent desserts that combine unexpected flavors. - **Confectionary:** Creating unique and flavorful treats by repurposing leftover candy canes and other ingredients. - **Food Innovation:** Experimenting with surprise additions to traditional recipes to create new and exciting flavor profiles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy Cane-Infused Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-cane-cornflake-ice-cream-cake.md) - [Holiday Cookie Line Additions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peppermint-cocoa-cookie.md) - [Chili Crisp-Infused Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chili-crunch-cookies.md) - [Coffee-Themed Holiday Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-bar-1.md) - [Crispy Peppermint Cocoa Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thin-crispy-peppermint-cocoa-cookies.md) - [Peppermint Ice Cream Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peppermint-ice-cream-cookie.md) - [Festive Collab Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-bar-x-mccormick.md) - [Fudgy Peppermint Chocolate Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peppermint-chocolate-cookies.md) - [Convenient Christmas Cookie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chip-city-cookies-holiday-range.md)
