When your sweet tooth kicks in this Labor Day weekend, head to EMP Summer House in East Hampton, where a very special collaboration is happening, but for just one day only.
“We’re bringing Milk Bar to the EMP Summer House this Sunday with cookies, crack pie & b’day cake truffles in tow, with proceeds going to a cause very close to my heart!” shared Milk Bar founder & CEO, Christina Tosi.

100 percent of profits from the collaboration will benefit Cookies for Kids’ Cancer (CFKC), which supports childhood cancer research.
“I first met Gretchen at a 2012 Amagansett Cookies for Kids’ Cancer bake sale and am pumped to help raise money and awareness for such a sweet organization!” Tosi, who serves on the Board of Directors for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, explained.

The Sunday Milk Bar x Cookies for Kids’ Cancer extravaganza will feature Milk Bar’s crack pie (toasted oat crust with a gooey butter filling) – available by the slice or a whole pie; confetti cookie™ (just like the milk bar b’day truffles and layer cake, this sugar cookie is full of birthday sprinkles, birthday crumbs and that familiar old fashioned vanilla flavor); compost cookie® (packed with pretzels, potato chips, coffee, oats, graham cracker, butterscotch and chocolate chips, this cookie strikes the perfect balance between salty and sweet); blueberry & cream cookie™ (sugar cookie dough, bits of milk crumbs and morsels of dried blueberries transform into a cookie that tastes just like the top of a blueberry muffin); corn cookie (the familiar flavors from cornbread transform into this sweet, buttery cookie! it’s a milk bar cult favorite); cornflake-chocolate-chip-marshmallow cookie (a play on the classic chocolate chip cookie with crunchy cornflakes, gooey marshmallows and mini chocolate chips); chocolate-chocolate cookie (chocolate cookie dough, chocolate crumbs and a hint of salt makes this dense and fudgy cookie taste just like a very chocolatey brownie); perfect 10 LIFE cookie (an oatmeal cookie meets an energy bar! made with gluten-free oats, almonds, mini chocolate chips and sweetened with agave
b’day truffles); vanilla rainbow cake (mixed with vanilla infused milk, coated with white chocolate and rolled in rainbow cake crumbs – it’s a birthday party in a bite); assorted cookie tins (one of each milk bar flavor: compost cookie, cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow cookie, blueberry & cream cookie, corn cookie, chocolate-chocolate cookie and confetti cookie); and XL cookie tins (a super sized gift box of two dozen assorted milk bar cookies that contains all of your favorites: compost cookies, cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow cookies, blueberry cookies, corn cookies, chocolate-chocolate cookies, and confetti cookies).
“There’s always an incredible outpouring of goodwill from the the Amagansett community and that’s what makes me smile the most!” added Jassem.
