When that sweet tooth hits, it helps to have a quick remedy. The Post Chicken & Beer is lending a hand with its new walk-up window selling freshly baked cookies, iced coffee and milkshakes.
The new side business, called ButterPunk, is operating at the corner of 16th and Boulder streets at the local chicken chain’s location in Denver’s Lower Highland neighborhood. It’s being led by executive chef Corina Johnson, who spent 12 years as a pastry chef.
“I’ve always loved cookies and how they just make people happy, and it’s long been a dream of mine to open a cookie shop,” Johnson said in a press release. That’s why the “bodega-style” window is called the “Window of Happiness,” according to Big Red F, the restaurant company that owns The Post, Jax Fish House, Centro Mexican Kitchen and other brands.
Flavors include chocolate chip with sea salt; chocolate and peanut butter chip; soft-batch gooey vanilla sugar; butterscotch and toasted coconut; and a rotating special cookie. There is also a gluten-free cookie with chocolate chips, pecans, Nutella and sea salt.
Customers can purchase frozen cookie dough to take home and bake themselves.
Window of Happiness is open Monday-Thursday, from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday, from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
