The Resy Cookie Box returns this December for a fifth consecutive year, in collaboration with Chef Christina Tosi’s Milk Bar® Bakery, to create the ultimate holiday gift for restaurant lovers. The team at Resy has once again hand-picked chefs and restaurants across the country to create 12 original, limited-edition cookies, and for the first time The Resy Cookie Box will be available for purchase in retail stores at select Milk Bar locations in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles in addition to Milk Bar’s website beginning December 2, 2024.
In the holiday spirit of giving back, The Resy Cookie Box benefits the Southern Smoke Foundation, a non-profit that supports members of the food and beverage industry nationwide by providing financial relief in times of crisis, assistance with everyday essentials, access to mental health care resources, and more. The Southern Smoke Foundation has distributed over $13 million in funding to hospitality workers in need since 2015, and Resy proudly supports the organization year-round.
“The Resy Cookie Box connects restaurants and diners in an out-of-the-box way (literally) and is a highlight of my holiday season,” said Pablo Rivero, CEO Resy, Vice President of American Express Dining. “It’s a demonstration of Resy’s ‘more than reservations’ ethos and commitment to supporting the hospitality industry by partnering with Southern Smoke.”
“Both Resy and Milk Bar have a passion for bringing the flavors and talents of beloved restaurants to people in unique ways. The Resy Cookie Box is such an exciting vehicle to continue to do just that,” said Christina Tosi, Chef and Founder of Milk Bar. “I couldn’t be more pumped to help Resy and this killer lineup of chefs bring their imaginative, craveable cookies to life – and on bakery shelves for the first time – as their baking partner. Plus, there’s nothing that we love to do more at Milk Bar than bake cookies!”
Included in the assortment is a Hot Cocoa Cookie from Tosi herself alongside a Furikake Popcorn Cookie by Ravi Kapur of Liholiho Yacht Club in San Francisco, a Yuzu Espresso Martini Cookie by Faye Chen & GN Chan of Double Chicken Please in New York, a Grinchy Pandan Cookie by Christina Nguyen of Hai Hai in Minneapolis, and more.
The box’s modern-yet-playful theme was designed by award-winning, NYC-based creative studio Polonsky & Friends in collaboration with Resy and Care of Chan. It features illustrations by Paris-based illustrator Jane Black, who has created designs for well-known brands such as Kate Spade, Assouline and West Elm. The exterior features joyful, dining-inspired holiday illustrations, while the interior offers an element of surprise to enhance the opening moment, making the box itself a one-of-a-kind collectible once its cookie contents have been devoured.
