The robot holds an inventory of delicate handmade cookie shots and precisely fills them with chilled Madagascan vanilla milk that you can order.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, its just milk.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side, the robot shots are family-friendly, so have at it, you little bastards.<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;cookie&rdquo; aspect is a little misleading, as the cup isn&rsquo;t so much a cookie as a chocolate cracker, one of our favorite oxymorons of all time.<\/p>\n<p>We trust there&rsquo;s some science to creating an edible shot glass, including having to make it sturdy enough for a robot to handle. A soft cookie vessel would be infinitely better than the hard version, but then milk would be everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s a challenge to sip the milk while nibbling at the chocolate cup, but a proper mixture of flavors is important. Drinking the milk like a shot, then eating the cup, would be weird.<\/p>\n<p>The milk does start to ooze into the shell a bit as you go along, but who has time to wait?<\/p>\n<p>As noted in the video, the robot has a blue ribbon and pink ribbon, which is adorable given the machine appears to identify as at least two of the roughly 16 genders now in existence.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36352\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36352\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-36352\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/robot_cookie_shot1.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">No tip jar, weird.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even later in the evening, a crowd gathers to watch the shot preparation, so the machine is a great marketing tool for Dominique Ansel&rsquo;s bakery.<\/p>\n<p>We were a little confused about how a customer knows the shot is theirs, but it&rsquo;s sort of the honor system, as anyone could come up and take the shot after the little door opens.<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;Cookie Shot&rdquo; at Dominique Ansel bakery isn&rsquo;t going to win any awards for its deliciousness, but that&rsquo;s not really the point. It&rsquo;s an experience.<\/p>\n<p>We love a good novelty, and the price of the &ldquo;Cookie Shot&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t outrageous.<\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re into quality sweets, though, make your way into the shop itself.
