<\/a>\nEvery now and then, some genius comes up with a brilliant idea for combining two beloved baked goods into a single treat, a portmanteau of pastry if you will. The cronut comes to mind. That marriage often begets lesser, more commercialized offspring which will remain nameless here. But sometimes a star is born unto this hallowed union and it is this miracle of which I bring good tidings.

\nOkay, so I got a little carried away. But that\u2019s what happened at the press event for 2019\u2019s Queens Night Market when I tasted Janie\u2019s Pie Crust Cookies. Resting on a foundation of flaky pie crust, topped with buttery, crumbly, caramelized streusel and filled with just the right amount of gooey pecan magic to balance it off (cherry and chocolate pecan are available too), Janie\u2019s cookies comprise the best parts of the pie and they\u2019re heavenly. (Oops, there I go again.)

\nJanie\u2019s personal story is the stuff of which legends are made; visit her website janiebakes.com<\/a> to learn more or follow her on Instagram @janiedbakes, but even better \u2013 taste for yourself. You can find her and her life-changing cookies (there\u2019s a poignant reason they\u2019re called that) at the Queens Night Market: head to the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Saturdays from 5pm to midnight until August 17 and again from September 28 to October 26.
