Rating Crumbl Cookies

By: Morgan Aycock

  1. Original Pink Sugar

Even though I have never tried this cookie, it is an all-time fan favorite. The almond sugar cookie is different from all other cookies and pink is my favorite color, so I may be biased. They also just recently added it back to the menu, so people will be buying this like crazy. 

  1. Mallow Creme ft. Lucky Charms

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, this is a first time cookie for Crumbl. The marshmallow frosting and Lucky Charm marshmallows align perfectly together. Many people that have tried it have liked it. 

  1. Cookies and Creme Brownie

As always, every week there is a brownie instead of a cookie. I do think the chocolate could be a little over powering, but overall I think it would be good. I think the buttercream would be good and have a good mix in with the cookies and chocolate. 

  1. Milk Glaze ft. Fruity Pebbles

I think the milk flavor would be a little questionable, but a good idea to do with the Fruity Pebbles on top. I think it could be a little plain and I don’t think they should’ve done this because they already did the Lucky Charms cookie. I don’t like that it’s a plain cookie with a milky glaze, and I think it would be a better idea to do frosting and Fruity Pebbles on top of that. 

  1. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunk

Even though they do this cookie every week, I still think it’s a good cookie, but they should definitely take it off the list. They should not add the sea salt and I don’t think it’s worth the 800 calories to buy when you can buy a lot of other cookies for the same price and amount of calories. 

  1. Wildberry Sugar

I do not think that this cookie would get a lot of sales. The strawberries and blueberries don’t belong in a cookie in my opinion. They have never had a cookie like this, which I think is good for them to try something new. However, I would not buy it and I don’t think others would either. 

  1. Chocolate Mint Cake ft. Andes 

I don’t think the cake is a good idea at all, and they should stick to selling only cookies. Many people don’t like mint flavored things, but I see what they were trying to do because of the green for St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t think adding the mints on top does this any better, and the mint frosting would not be good.

  • Semi sweet chocolate chunk
  • Pumpkin cake
  • Dirt cake
  • Blue monster ft Chips Ahoy
  • Peanut butter ft Reese’s Pieces
  • Halloween cake batter blondie

My ratings are:

  1. Halloween cake batter blondie 

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A smooth cake batter cookie packed with white drops and a splash of spooky sprinkles 

Cake batter is one of my favorites, so I think this would be very good. It is also perfect for Halloween and I like how it has sprinkles inside of it. I would love to try this cookie. 

  1. Peanut butter ft Reese’s Pieces

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A thick peanut butter cookie packed with irresistible REESE’S PIECES candies. 

I think this cookie would be really good and I like Reese’s. I think adding candy to the cookies is a good idea because of Halloween. 

  1. Dirt cake

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A chocolate cookie coated in cookies & cream crumbs, swirled with fudge frosting, sprinkled with crunchy chocolate streusel, and finished with a gummy worm!

I like that they have fudge frosting and it resembles a dirt cake perfectly. 

  1. Blue monster ft Chips Ahoy

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A cookie popping with brown sugar, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and CHIPS AHOY!® Cookie Pieces, then topped with creamy blue vanilla frosting and a mini CHIPS AHOY!® Cookie.

I think this would be good but I don’t really like Chips Ahoy. I think it’s a good idea to add this in the menu. 

  1. Pumpkin cake 

Crumbl Cookies’ description: Two fluffy tiers of spiced pumpkin cake layered with smooth vanilla bean cream cheese frosting and topped with crumbled pumpkin cake pieces. 

I think the vanilla bean cream cheese frosting would be really good, but people that have tried it say that the pumpkin is spicy. 

  1. Semi sweet chocolate chunk

Nothing much to say about this one, it is good but I don’t like how they do this every week.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

By: Lottie Bynum

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found this recipe on TikTok listed as “The Best Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Of All Time” and this is my version and experience of making them!

The ingredients needed are:

  • ¾ cup of butter
  • 1 cup of light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup of white sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla
  • 1 ¾ cups of all purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips

The way I bake these cookies differs slightly from the original recipe.

Steps

  • To brown butter you can either brown it in a pot, double boiler, or put it in the microwave; I put mine in the microwave for 1-3 minutes depending on how long it takes it to brown. If you do it in the microwave like I do then make sure to check it every 15 seconds or so after the first minute to avoid it burning(I’ve burned the butter before!).
  • After that, add your brown and white sugars to the browned butter and mix. I usually do this while the butter is being browned in the microwave. I usually don’t bother measuring the exact amount because sometimes there’s a little extra sugar on the top of the cup that I don’t dust off for added sweetness!
  • Then, add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla! Yes it is important to add just the yolk because the cookies end up kind of lumpy if you just add an entire other egg. Yes the amount of vanilla is important too if you add more than you should of that then it’s fine everyone loves baking with vanilla.
  • After that add your flour, baking soda and salt and mix. Salt is the one ingredient I never measure because it’s honestly what you feel deep in your baking soul to add. I usually add quite a bit because it enhances the sweet flavor in my opinion. I use sea salt in the larger chunkier flakes for the vibes but also because it tastes better that way in my opinion.
  • Here is where my version of the recipe differs. My dough is still warm at this point so I usually put it in the fridge to cool for around 15 minutes before mixing in the chocolate chips, however this step is always being changed for me. Last time I added in a handful(or a few, measure with your sweet tooth!) and mixed them in while the dough is still warm and let them melt to add chocolate streaks in the dough and then refrigerated them and added the other chocolate chips afterwards! Another thought is melting some in the microwave and mixing in pre-melted chocolate chips into the dough and seeing if the taste differs any from the ones melted in the dough. Also when adding chocolate chips or whatever chocolate you add try a few different types of chocolate chips at the same time! I usually add semi-sweet and dark!
  • After mixing the chocolate chips, put them back in the fridge so that they can firm up a bit and deepen in flavor. In the original recipe you put the dough in for 30 minutes but the way I do it I put them in for another 15 or if I have the time 30 like the recipe said. I do this because they already went in the fridge to cool before adding the chocolate chips, but do whatever you would like in this step! Also note to self turn on the oven to 350 degrees during this to give it time to heat up instead of waiting for a while when you take your cookies out of the fridge.
  • After the fridge, roll the dough into balls whatever shape or size you think is right(the original recipe said 2 oz balls but I never measure!). Place the balls on a baking sheet in a pan and place them in the oven at 350 degrees and wait for around 18 minutes depending on how crispy you want them and how large or small the cookies are.
  • Now you have cookies! This recipe usually makes around 24 cookies but you can stretch them depending on how small you roll them out to be.

This week’s lineup of Crumbl Cookies are (October 14-19)

By: Morgan Aycock

My ratings are:

  1. Cookie dough

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A brown sugar cookie topped with creamy cookie dough buttercream and chunks of cookie dough pieces.

I have never tried this cookie, but I think it would be really good. I like that they added chunks of cookie dough pieces and chocolate chips on the top, but I think it would be better if the cookie was regular vanilla and not brown sugar, but I would have to try it to decide that. Most people that have tried this cookie say that it’s a 10/10, and I think I would like this one a lot.

  1. Double fudge brownie

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A decadent brownie loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chunks and creamy milk chocolate drops, topped with luscious fudge frosting.

I think this would be pretty good, but I think it would be better if it was served warm and not bakery temperature. I think the straight up chocolate could be a little overpowering, but overall, I think this one would be pretty good.

  1. Cornbread cookie

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A warm cornbread cookie smothered with honey butter glaze, then topped with a dollop of thick honey buttercream frosting and a drizzle of honey.

I have tried this cookie before when they had it on the 4th of July lineup, and it is very good. Most people that have tried this say it’s one of their favorites. I like that they added the honey drizzle to make it resemble a real piece of cornbread and it adds a sweet and salty taste. I also like that this one is served warm.

  1. Blueberry muffin

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A warm blueberry cookie smothered in a buttery cake glaze and topped with a delightful crunch of blueberry muffin streusel.

I think that the idea of this cookie is a good idea, but I don’t know if this one would taste very good. It doesn’t even look appealing on the website and I don’t think the glaze would be good.

  1. Peanut butter crisp ft Butterfinger

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A rich cookie bursting with creamy peanut butter, melted chocolate, and crunchy Butterfinger® pieces.

Although I don’t like that they always do peanut butter, I think adding the Butterfinger pieces to the top makes it a little better. I think it would be better if it didn’t have the peanut butter drizzle on the top, though and all the peanut butter flavors every week gets old. 

  1. Semi-sweet chocolate chunk

Crumbl Cookies’ description: Chocolate chip, but make it chunky—a delicious cookie filled with irresistible semi-sweet chocolate chunks and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

This flavor is on the list almost every week, so I think it gets really old. If people want a chocolate chip cookie then they could buy a whole pack of them for the same price as one of these. It is overall not a bad cookie, but I think they should stop putting it on the lineup every week because people aren’t buying it as much because it is sold every week.

This Week’s Crumbl Cookie Breakdown

By: Morgan Aycock

My ratings are:

  1. Cookies and cream milkshake ft mini Oreo

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A chilly cookies & cream milkshake-inspired cookie bursting with OREO® cookie pieces from the base to the creamy vanilla buttercream, and finished with a MINI OREO® cookie.

I have tried this cookie and it is really good and chilled is my favorite. The cookie and the frosting both are cookies and cream flavor and it has pieces of Oreo in them. Cookies and cream is one of my favorite flavors so this is number one for me. 

  1. Brownie sundae

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A gooey brownie cradled by crisp chocolatey edges, topped with velvety vanilla mousse, smothered in warm fudge, and finished with rainbow sprinkles and a cherry on top.

I think it would be better if it was served warm and not at bakery temperature. I like the vanilla mousse on it and I think this is a good idea to have. 

  1. Pumpkin cake cookie

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A warm and fluffy pumpkin spiced cookie layered with cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

I like how this is not too much pumpkin and I like the chocolate chips added on top. I also think it was a really good idea to add cream cheese frosting.

  1. Semi sweet chocolate chip

Crumbl Cookies’ description: Chocolate chip, but make it chunky—a delicious cookie filled with irresistible semi-sweet chocolate chunks and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

This is served usually every week so I think it could get old for people to keep buying. I don’t think it’s a good idea for the sea salt to be there, but overall a pretty good cookie.

  1. Oatmeal chocolate chip

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A thick cinnamon oatmeal cookie filled with layers of melty milk chocolate chips.

I think they have too many cinnamon flavors. I like oatmeal cookies, but I don’t think they had to add cinnamon.

  1. Ultimate peanut butter

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A peanut butter cookie stuffed with peanut butter and topped with a drizzle of melted peanut butter.

Immediately no. Way too much peanut butter and it’s the only flavor that is in the cookie. I think without the peanut butter drizzle on top it could be good, but I think the flavor is way too overpowering.

This week’s Crumbl Cookie Preview

This week’s lineup of Crumbl Cookies is (September 16-21)

My ratings are:

  1. Brownie batter 

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A gooey chocolate cookie packed with semi-sweet chocolate chips and topped with delectable brownie batter.

I have not tried this cookie but I love brownies and this sounds so good. It would be the best because the reviews I have watched say that it is served warm and the chocolate chips in it are a good add in.

  1. Raspberry cheesecake ft. Philadelphia cream cheese

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A true, classic vanilla cheesecake baked over a buttery graham cracker crust, then topped with a tangy mouth-watering raspberry spread and a dollop of whipped cream. 

I would love to try this cookie because I love cheesecake and strawberry would be better on top instead of raspberry in my opinion, but it still sounds really good. Cheesecake is my favorite and this is very unique to make this a new flavor, served chilled is also the best.10/10

  1. Caramel pumpkin cake

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A fluffy pumpkin cookie, topped with a swirl of smooth caramel cream cheese frosting and a light sprinkling of pumpkin cookie crumbs.

Cream cheese frosting is the best kind of icing and to mix it in with caramel and pumpkin is genius. Pumpkin is not my favorite, but I like how it’s not only a pumpkin cookie, and they added more flavors in it.

  1. Semi sweet chocolate chip

Crumbl Cookies’ description: Chocolate chip, but make it chunky—a delicious cookie filled with irresistible semi-sweet chocolate chunks and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Even though this is a weekly flavor, it is a classic and you can never go wrong with the basics. The sea salt adds a sweet and hint of salty flavor, and everyone loves a chocolate chip cookie.

  1. Maple cinnamon square

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A moist, fluffy cinnamon square marbled with brown sugar cinnamon butter and smothered with a light maple cream cheese frosting.

Again with the square cakes and I don’t know why they keep doing these. It’s not a good idea to sell things other than cookies in my opinion. I don’t like maple at all and although there is cinnamon also, it doesn’t do it much better. It’s not in last place because of the cream cheese frosting. 

  1. Fried ice cream

Crumbl Cookies’ description: A delicious cinnamon cookie with smooth white drop buttercream and topped with a fried ice cream streusel.

Confused as to why they would pick this flavor. I feel like no one would buy this and the picture of it online looks like it has crunched up Frosted Flakes on top of it. Fried ice cream streusel doesn’t even make sense and I feel like they only chose this as a flavor because they’re running out of ideas.
