New York Magazine and New York Forever today announced “The Cookie Edit,” a limited-edition collection of cookies chosen by New York’s editors from bakeries and restaurants around the five boroughs. Beginning April 5, sweet-tooths around the state can order the $50 cookie boxes to benefit ROAR (Restaurants Organizing, Advocating & Rebuilding), an organization that provides direct relief and assistance to the city’s restaurant workers.
A mix of old favorites and new additions to the cookie canon, each box will include Archestratus Books + Food’s Casa Cookie, Breads Bakery’s Chocolate Rugelach, Bruno’s Pignoli Cookies, Brutus Bakeshop’s Miso Chocolate Chip Cookie, High Low Beverage Company’s Chocolate Coconut Crinkle Cookie, Kemi Dessert Bar’s Pandan Crumble Cookie, L’Appartement 4F’s Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie au Sel de Mer, Mottley Kitchen’s Mottley Monster Chocolate Chip Cookie, Nasrin’s Kitchen’s Kolompeh Date Cookie, Patisserie Fouet’s Sesame Cookies, Té Company’s Butter Shortbread Cookie, and URSULA BK’s Mexican Wedding Cookie.
“Gathering together the city’s best cookies is something New York’s food editors do rather frequently,” says New York deputy editor Alexis Swerdloff, who worked with the magazine’s food team to help bring this idea to life. “But literally gathering them together is a new and exciting proposition for us. And coming out of a year that has been incredibly difficult for the city’s food industry, we are so happy to partner with New York Forever on a project that will directly benefit restaurants and restaurant workers.”
“Restaurants and restaurant workers are the beating heart of New York City, and The Cookie Edit is a way for all of us to come together to celebrate and support them,” said Risa Heller and Jonathan Rosen, Founders of NY Forever. “We are thrilled to be partnering with New York Magazine on this box of 5 borough deliciousness that will support some of our favorite institutions and essential workers.”
Cookie boxes will be on sale and available to order from April 5-28 through Mary Giuliani Catering & Events at http://nohib.com/the-cookie-edit, and can only be shipped to addresses in New York State. MCGE will donate 100% of the proceeds from cookie box sales made from April 5-28 to ROAR.

New York Forever is calling all New Yorkers to take the pledge and commit to New York’s future.
