The best and worst of Crumbl Cookie

Crumbl Cookies has gained in popularity over the last few years as a unique dessert chain with weekly changing flavors, going from a small family-owned shop to a nationwide franchise. Branching out from the initial focus on cookies, Crumbl has grown to include a variety of desserts and dessert-inspired cookies, including brownies, pies, and cakes. Despite the weekly rotation, there are 5 Crumbl flavors that stand out: 

  1. Sticky Bun

This cookie features a butter and cinnamon sugar filling with a butterscotch glaze. It is topped with cinnamon sugar and crushed pecans. The cookie is served warm, and the sugary filling makes the center super soft and delicious. The cookie tastes like a more dense version of a cinnamon bun, but with a distinct toffee flavor. (5/5)

  1. Red Velvet 

Not to be confused with the Red Velvet White Chip cookie, the Red Velvet cookie has a cake-like base with a cream-cheese frosting, topped with cookie crumbs. It has a slightly more chocolatey, cocoa-heavy flavor than a typical red velvet cake, but it’s still very similar. If red velvet cake is a favorite, the cookie is likely to be one too! (4.9/5)

  1.   Holiday Birthday Cake 

This cookie has a buttery sugar cookie base with a vanilla cream cheese frosting, topped with circular sprinkles. The cream cheese in the frosting balances the sweetness of the cookie, and the sprinkles add to the taste as well. Overall, it feels like a more interesting version of a typical birthday cake, where the overly-sweet buttercream is swapped for a tasteful cream cheese frosting. (4.7/5)

  1. Banana Bread Cookie

This cookie features a banana cookie base with a cream cheese glaze topped with crushed brown sugar. The unique glaze works perfectly with the airy, soft cookie to create a light, sweet flavor that isn’t too overwhelming. This cookie is closer in taste to banana pudding than banana bread, due to its nilla-wafer-like base. If you’re a fan of banana pudding, you’ll likely be a fan. (5/5)

  1. S’mores Brownie 

The cookie version of the crowd-favorite dessert, this cookie has a brownie base mixed in with graham pie crust. There are chocolate chips mixed in throughout and a melted marshmallow in the center. The cookie is perfectly mixed, and each bite has an equal portion of the marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker flavor.  (4.5/5)
