The Best-Tasting Crumbl Cookie Has A Brown Sugar Base

Armed with the results of taste-testing several weeks of Crumbl's rotating cookie lineup, a Foodie feature writer compiled a list of the best and worst Crumbl cookie flavors. The star flavor of her ranking was one that, on paper, sounds a bit redundant — a cookie dough cookie. If you didn't actually see this specimen, you might have some reasonable questions. Is it just a slab of raw cookie dough? While Crumbl has sold Cookie Dough Bits in the past, its fame is generally built upon pillowy-soft, enormous premium baked cookies served in aesthetically pleasing pink boxes. And, before you ask, no ... you can't buy Crumbl cookies at the grocery store, just dupes. According to our reviewer, the Cookie Dough cookie is brown sugar-flavored, with cookie dough icing and little chunks of edible cookie dough scattered on top.

Our reviewer couldn't say enough about this cookie's effectiveness as a tasty treat. "[T]he degree to which that cookie frosting tasted exactly like real, raw cookie dough was astounding," she wrote. "The brown sugar cookie on the bottom tasted like a chocolate chip cookie without the chocolate chips, and the whole experience had a slight nuttiness too. This was the ideal cookie for cookie lovers." Checking the pulse of the internet, which is chockablock full of Crumbl opinions, it seems that the Cookie Dough love isn't limited to our writer; the variety is a widely beloved favorite.

"IT'S THE BEST ONE THEY HAVE. I can't wait for it to come back so I can buy a whole 6 pack of them," one Redditor gushed about Crumbl's Cookie Dough flavor, cutting straight to the chase. "Life. Changing. It was the first cookie I ever had from them, and I've been chasing the dragon since," a response agreed. "You definitely taste the brown sugar throughout the cookie," a TikTok reviewer noted approvingly, while also praising the dense, moist crumb of the cookie. Morgan Chomps on YouTube compared the Cookie Dough cookie to Crumbl's Cookie Dough Bits and noted "hints of brown sugar, vanilla, and salted butter" in the cookie. Meanwhile, a reporter for The Oak Monitor enthused, "Overall, I would definitely give this cookie a 9/10. It was amazing. This one was my favorite out of them all."

Possibly the only bummer about this scrumptious Crumbl cookie is that you can't run out to your local bakery and buy one right now, owing to the rotating list of flavors that keep the menu changing from week to week. Looking at the dates on several reviews of the Cookie Dough cookie, however, it becomes apparent that this is a flavor Crumbl has brought back more than once. It definitely lands on many folks' lists of Crumbl cookies that need a comeback, so keep your eyes peeled for future reappearances!
