The Dawning is here and comes with the usual wide selection of cookies to bake and give to the various Destiny 2 characters across the universe, including Ikora and Lord Shaxx. It’s worth noting that the cookies previously reserved for Sloan in Titan, Asher Mir in IO, and so on, have been replaced by new cookies for Shaw Han and Variks.
This post covers every single Cookie recipe for this year’s Dawning, including the ingredients you will need and the rewards.
What is the Dawning in Destiny 2?
