Mac Miller and Ariana Grande dated for about two years. They also released a song collaboration together. Although the couple ultimately broke up, they shared many sweet moments, including baking cookies. No, this isn’t an original recipe created by the two music stars. But it is a step-by-step guide on how to make cookies based on the adorable couple’s vlog from 2016.

What you’ll need:

  • 2 tubs of Eat Pastry gluten-free cookie dough. Mac Miller and Ariana Grande used chocolate chip and peanut butter chocolate chip flavors.
  • A pan
  • A spatula
  • 2 glasses for drinking milk with cookies
  • Almond milk
  • Some jokes

What to do:

Follow Miller and Grande’s cues by first displaying your cookie dough in an over-the-top way that Vanna White from Wheel of Fortune would be proud of. Miller used lots of dramatic hand gestures. Once you’ve displayed your cookie dough for all to see, open your dough containers. Next, grab your pan. If you’re like Miller and Grande, you’ll want to show everyone which kitchen accessories are not pans, including a colander, before grabbing your pan. Feel free to put all accessories that aren’t pans back into the kitchen cabinets using only your feet (see “some jokes” listed above).

Once your pan is set and your dough is ready, roll the dough into small balls and place them on the pan. If you’re like the adorable couple, you can use British accents as you describe the flavors of the cookies. The couple even jokingly called the peanut butter cookies “penis butter” cookies.

Once the cookies are evenly placed across the pan, place the pan in the oven and bake the cookies for the suggested amount of time included on the cookie dough package. When your cookies are finished baking, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Scrape your cookies off the pan using a spatula.

Finish off the cookie baking process by pouring two glasses of almond milk. Dunk your cookies into the milk and enjoy. If you’re like Miller and Grande, you’ll be giggling the entire time.

What caused Mac Miller’s death?

On September 7, 2018, Mac Miller was found dead in his home. According to the Los Angeles County medical examiner coroner’s office, Miller died from “mixed drug toxicity.” The mix reportedly included cocaine, fentanyl, and alcohol.

In 2019, Cameron Pettit, Mac Miller’s alleged drug supplier, was taken into custody. In a 42-page criminal complaint, officials alleged that Pettit supplied Miller with fentanyl-laced oxycodone pills. Miller allegedly asked for Percocets.

However, NBC News recently reported that another man named Ryan Reavis has just been charged with 11 years in prison for delivering counterfeit oxycodone pills that contained fentanyl. Reavis allegedly provided the pills to Pettit, who reportedly sold them to Mac Miller just days before his death.

How did Ariana Grande react to Mac Miller’s death?

The couple had already broken up before Miller’s death in 2018. However, the two remained friends after the breakup. In a cover story for Vogue following Miller’s death, Grande started crying only nine minutes into the interview. She had just started talking about performing at Coachella when the tears began to flow.

“I never thought I’d even go to Coachella,” said Grande. “I was always a person who never went to festivals and never went out and had fun like that. But the first time I went was to see Malcolm perform, and it was such an incredible experience.”

Grande shared that Miller was the first person she thought of while performing at Coachella.

“I went the second year as well, and I associate…heavily…it was just kind of a mindf***, processing how much has happened in such a brief period.”

Four years after his death, one man is being held responsible for the actions that caused Miller’s death. Perhaps, this can be a step toward helping Miller’s loved ones heal from the tragedy.
