Crumbl Cookies Review of the week 🍪 🤩🩷

After trying this week's amazing Crumbl cookies, I know some of you are probably wondering how to get your hands on them, or even how to recreate that magical taste at home! So, let me share a few extra tips and tricks I've picked up on my Crumbl journey. First off, if you're like me and constantly craving these delicious treats, finding a Crumbl Cookies near you is super easy! Their website has a fantastic store locator, or you can just download the Crumbl app. The app is actually a lifesaver because you can see the weekly flavors, order ahead to skip the line (trust me, sometimes those lines get long, especially for popular flavors like when the Chocolate Chunk is back!), and even earn loyalty points. I always check the app before heading out to make sure my desired cookie, like that amazing Lemon Glaze, is available. It saves so much time! Now, if you can't get to a store, or you just want to try your hand at baking, making Crumbl-inspired cookies at home is a fun challenge! While nothing beats the real thing, you can get pretty close. The key to that signature Crumbl texture is usually a blend of butter and shortening, along with a mix of brown and white sugar for chewiness. For a basic large, soft cookie base, start with a recipe that calls for melted butter, which helps create that soft, dense texture that Crumbl is famous for. Don't be shy with the mix-ins! If you loved the Chocolate Covered Strawberry or even the Olivia Rodrigo's GUTS cookie, think about the flavor profiles and how you can adapt them. For example, for a basic chocolate chip, make sure you use good quality chocolate chunks – it makes all the difference! To get that perfect 'Crumbl size,' use a large ice cream scoop for your dough. And remember, underbake them slightly for that gooey center. You can even try recreating some of the frostings – a simple cream cheese frosting with a hint of lemon zest could mimic the Lemon Glaze, or a rich chocolate ganache for the Chocolate Covered Strawberry inspiration. Beyond just eating them, I've learned a few things to maximize the Crumbl experience. Warm Them Up: Many of their cookies are amazing served warm, especially the chocolate-based ones like the Chocolate Chunk or even a warm Waffle cookie with syrup! A quick zap in the microwave for 10-15 seconds makes a huge difference. Share the Love (and the Calories!): These cookies are HUGE. I always cut them into quarters, especially since the box comes with six different cookies, so everyone can try a bit of everything without overdoing it. It's perfect for a gathering. Freezing for Later: Yes, you can freeze Crumbl cookies! Just wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container. When you're ready for a treat, let them thaw at room temperature or give them a quick microwave. It's great for savoring those limited-time flavors you really loved. Don't Forget the Banana Pudding! If your store offers it (like mine did this week, and I rated it 8/10!), it's a fantastic palate cleanser between cookies or a delicious standalone dessert. It's creamy, comforting, and a nice break from all the cookie richness.
