Utah-based cookie chain Crumbl Cookies has developed a reputation for innovative creations and weekly selections that surprise and delight fans. This week, Crumbl offers a blend of chocolate and fruity flavors. While the Chocolate Crumb Cookie ft. OREO and Chocolate REESE’S PIECES Cookie provide a touch of comfort, the Banana Cream Pie Cookie and Lemon Cheesecake Cookie welcome the warmer weather.
No. 4: Banana Cream Pie Cookie
The Banana Cream Pie Cookie is both the most ambitious and least impressive out of this week’s offerings. The cookie mimics a pie, with a pudding combining vanilla and bananas encased in a simple crust and topped with a wafer. The crust itself feels flimsy and doesn’t add much to the flavor. On the other hand, the pudding clearly executes the flavors but still does not stand out. The wafer on top is a nice touch, mostly for appearance. Overall, the Banana Cream Pie Cookie receives two and a half out of five feathers.
No. 3: Lemon Cheesecake Cookie
The Lemon Cheesecake Cookie provides exactly what the name promises. However, it doesn’t do much more than that. The graham cracker cookie is on the blander side but still evokes the concept of a cheesecake crust. The toppings are the highlight, a cheesecake frosting paired with lemon curd that create a tart and creamy combination, with a lemon slice added purely for decoration. With enticing toppings but a dough that doesn’t stand out, the Lemon Cheesecake Cookie earns itself three out of five feathers.
No. 2: Chocolate Crumb Cookie ft. OREO
The closest of the bunch to Crumbl’s classic style, the Chocolate Crumb Cookie ft. OREO is simple but well-constructed. The cookie’s main success is how the dough and frosting balance each other out. The chocolate dough mixed with OREO pieces has a more subtle flavor, while the vanilla cream cheese frosting is light and sweet. A sprinkle of OREO pieces decorates the cookie. While this cookie isn’t the best of the selection, it certainly offers a tasty experience, earning itself four out of five feathers.
No. 1: Chocolate REESE’S PIECES Cookie
The Chocolate REESE’S PIECES Cookie is a hidden gem among Crumbl’s variety of flavors. The chocolate dough is rich with a satisfying texture, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. REESE’S PIECES fill the cookie, adding both a crunch and a striking peanut butter that pairs well with the chocolate. This cookie could appear underwhelming at first with the lack of frosting, but it proves itself to be the best of the week, receiving four and a half out of five feathers.
