Terrible except when peanut butter.
I love these cookies personally. Soft cookies are so much better than hard crunchy ones.
Soft cookies can be make by changing the recipe slightly and not risk salmonella poisoning or other infections.
Ya but you can make soft cookies that are actually cooked
If you ordered a cookie and didn’t get what you want, that sucks and is indeed frustrating.
However I don’t know what that has to do with anyone else. If someone wants to eat an almost raw cookie, or a too soft cookie or whatever, I don’t think that should bother you.
I think what bothers him is that he had something that he liked and can no longer find. It may not be the case here, but companies (in the US) are en masse changing their recipes to be cheaper to manufacture and it’s affecting the end product.
In the case of something like a cookie which can be made 1000 different ways by 1000 different companies, finding what you like took time, luck, or both. When they change the recipe on you, it’s not a simple, “just buy a different cookie, dummy.” It’s a major undertaking. Sometimes you get lucky and this was the push that allowed you to discover a new, even better, favorite. More often than not though, it’s just another part of your day that got a little bit shittier than it was yesterday.
It’s annoying and I totally get it.
I understand your take and mostly agree with you. I just want to emphasize I’m not trying to call anyone a dummy or anything, just that it’s OK to like what you like.
If companies aren’t going to cater to you, yeah that’s annoying in most scenarios.
Yet when my sourdough comes out this way, everyone acts like i shit my pants
I hate crumble cookies as well. Weak unsatisfying texture, and way too sweet before they even add all that syrup shit. Also they’re too big, I take like one bite and the sweetness is already unbearable.
Not to mention the fact that a single cookie is nearly half your daily caloric needs
That’s basically every cookie
Thank you. That’s the most insulting part. It’s a mediocre cookie at best.
I don’t order these and I can’t talk shit about them at home cuz I trying to be a better partner, so I do what normal people do and go vent on the internets.
I apologize to those who I have upset.
Personally I think the most insulting part is the price.
They make them big to try to justify it, but its still a bullshit high profit margin food.
I think people just like them because they are very fresh. Most places just sell you some cookie in a box made a couple weeks ago in a factory somewhere by robots so it is marginally better than that in theory.
I’m of the opinion that Crumble is only successful due to marketing and viral advertising from insta models. Just to double down on what you stated already: Their cookies are shitty, crumby, over sweet garbage that tastes like something out of the bargain bin at Dollar General. Actually, no. I’ve had delicious cookies from Dollar General. Bargain bin at Walmart bakery.

At least you pointed out your tastes at the end 😂
Agreed, I will take my mom’s homemade plain oatmeal cookies over these any day
Brownies too, I am not a fan.
Because I will eat fistfuls of raw cookie dough. Raw eggs are safe where I’m at anyways.
I think it’s more the risk from the raw flour than eggs.
It’s the flour.
Everybody knows that. Duh
It’s both in the US, uncooked eggs can give salmonella. But most places that have “edible cookie dough” use non-raw flour and no eggs so you can actually eat the dough raw safely.
You can make safe edible cookie dough pretty easily . The eggs aren’t the only issue, it’s the flour itself. If you bake it at like 275F for 30 mins in a sheet pan it’ll sterilize it. For edible cookie dough that won’t be baked you don’t even need eggs.
Having said that, I too have eaten my share of regular cookie dough.
Had no idea raw flour wasn’t safe. The store bought safe cookie dough always tastes like cardboard to me
Starting with my grandmother, I’ve been warned by the various bakers in my life for about 50 years that the various kinds of raw dough I have wheedled them into giving me or snuck off of their work area will give me a stomach ache or cause other issues. The most recent time I was warned in this way was surely less than 2 months ago.
So far so good, not a single problem, and I never pass up a chance to eat uncooked batter or dough.
I am absolutely not saying the risk doesn’t exist, but the chance of it seems so minuscule (based on my anecdotal lifelong experience) that I only ever think about it when someone brings it up.
If I bought something prepackaged on a grocery store shelf, like from nabisco or whatever, that was undercooked, I wouldn’t eat it. From the kitchen of a relative or right from a bakery - has never given me pause.
If you bake dry flour , remember to NOT use convection.
Because of the fan?
Flour is flammable and light. If the fan makes a bunch of it fly around in your oven the heating element could ignite it. Search YouTube for “flour fire”.
Probably not super dangerous at if you’re just baking a sheet pan of flour, but good to be safe.
It tastes like cardboard because you’re eating it refrigerated.
Cookie dough you make yourself is often warm from the melted butter

Crumbl cookies shops are popping up everywhere. Lines around the block.

Mmmmmm… Borderline raw cookies.
Mmmmmm… Borderline raw.
This is how I’ve loved cookies for my entire life. I’m just happy they are easier to find now.
Hypothesis: Want chewy cookies. Try cookie recipe, they come out crunchy. Bake for less time. Cookies chewy now!
RAW? doesnt that have raw egg
Raw egg is fine iirc it’s the flour that is a concern
You can pretreat flour to make it safe but obviously the question is, did the cookie maker bothered. And raw eggs can be a concern, apparently 1 in 20,000 eggs contains salmonella (inside, not on the shell).
A few minutes at 70°C is enough to kill germs. The dough stays uncooked. Obviously that needs to be controlled. Somehow I doubt they stuck a thermometer in there.
Yeah, the major manufacturers iradiate flour these days. It improves there shelf life and allows them to leave it in backstock a lot longer.
oh
Because the chocolate chip cookie recipe they put on the back of the chocolate chip bag is already the scientifically best possible recipe. It can no longer be improved. That’s why cookie influencers have to resort to stupid shit like this. All the good ideas have already been figured out so the best they can do is play pretend with the stupid ideas.
Reminds me of the idiots at a recent brewery that had an awful tasting Porter. When I complained, they mentioned using an IPA base. I literally laughed.
First of all, that cookie looks absolutely baller. Secondly, damn you I’m going to get crumbl cookies now and fucking up my diet lol
Child labor is bad and all, but like… Children making cookies is whimsical and fun. It’s not like toiling in the mines (which they yearn for).
Actually mines are where all the fairy dust is gotten from :/
So the mines are more whimsical :/
You should apologize :/
I apologize to the mines (which the children yearn for) for implying they aren’t whimsical and fun.
My work here is done!
Three things happen during baking that change the flavor of a cookie.
Maillard reaction, caramelization, and the melting of fats. There are more, but those are the three we’re going to talk about.
The maillard reaction takes raw flour and turns it brown. It absorbs some of the sugar in the process, and creates a more complex, nutty flavor. Caramelization also browns some of the sugar, giving it a smoky, bitter flavor. They also give the cookie a firm or crispy texture.
You also melt any fats, like butter, that are in the dough. Melted butter separates and spreads throughout the cookie.
There’s also often an egg that helps build structure for the baked dough, and sometimes baking soda for fluffiness.
This means uncooked dough is sweeter than a baked cookie. It has a soft, dense, and moist texture that disappears when fully baked. It’s butter and sugar held together with flour and egg, and it’s delicious.
Yay, food science!
flour and grease smear
Salty, sweet, greasy flour and egg mush. Mmmmm
calorie-dense nutrient paste
I often prefer slightly undercooked baked goods.
I like my cookies medium rare
Bloody.
Same, its like a cookie dough flavored cookie
