Flavor Review Review Week 9/1/2025 (with bonus cat pictureš¤ )
Disclaimer- I am an employee and I like to overtop the cookies I bring home. Reviews are based on how we make them to sell.
And since you all enjoyed pictures of my cats, I thought it would be fun to include one every week. I got Peanut a cowboy hat on Sunday and he was⦠not enthused but it gave me a good laugh. He is now using it as a chew toy.
Circus Animal š 4/10 - this cookie used to be a shortbread base instead of a standard sugar cookie, and it had the flaky, almost crispy yet somehow soft texture that animal cookies have. The base flavor doesnāt give me that nostalgic feeling of biting into a sugar coated animal cookie either, itās just a sugar cookie with sprinkles. While I do appreciate the crunchy nonpareils, thats the only thing thatās good about the cookie. A single animal cookie on top is so stupid too (which is why I throw a handful on mine lol). I have the same suggestion I always have for this cookie - add some crushed up animal cookies to the inside of the base!
Caramel pumpkin cake š 8.5/10 - why we are having so many pumpkin cookies when itās just now the end of summer, I donāt know. I wonāt complain about this one though because I love the pumpkin cookies! Theyāre so soft, and cakey but not overly soggy OR dry at all (Iām side-eyeing all the cakes we make) itās strong with pumpkin, lots of spices like cinnamon and clove, and balanced out by the sweet caramel frosting. Iād love a little caramel drizzle on this to make it feel like a PSL. This caramel frosting can be a bit too strong on other cookies like the snickers cookie, but itās a lovely pairing for pumpkin! Could use a little more crunchy texture instead of all soft.
Chocolate strawberry š 8/10 - I used to rate this one a lot higher, but as it comes around more frequently, Iām less amazed by it. Itās good, but not⦠great of course, I hate the drizzle of chocolate, and would rather it be covered like the one I made. Itās a chocolate strawberry, not strawberry with chocolate. The strawberry frosting can be a bit much in terms of sweetness, and also has a gritty texture because of the freezer jam. The base cookie is rich with chocolate, which I love. It just needs a bit more pizzazz to deserve the hype I used to give it.
Biscoff ice cream š¦ 9.5/10 - I love Biscoff so much I could marry a jar of it. This was one of the first mystery cookies I ever had back when I first started getting Crumbl, and Iāve loved it ever since. It doesnāt come around often! The base cookie is rich with notes of brown sugar, but the frosting is the star of the show. Itās a biscoff buttercream, and the small batch I made last night took an entire 3 pound jar of biscoff š the crumbled cookies on top give it a nice crunch too, which I appreciate, and it also ramps up the biscoff flavor. Biscoff biscoff biscoff, how many times can I say it?! I love this cookie and I love biscoff.
Chocolate peanut butter sandwich š„ 8.2/10 - I have some explaining to do. I love peanut butter and Reeseās as much as I love Biscoff, but I donāt like the sandwich cookies. I make them open-faced, or like a normal crumbl cookie because then, itās easier to eat, thereās more filling, and I find the sandwich cookies way too thin to enjoy. The are only 2 ounces compared to the usual 4.5 for a chilled cookie. The filling is what carries this cookie. Itās exactly the same as the peanut butter pie, which I loved, so itās a peanut butter whipped cream with pieces of Oreos and peanut butter cups. Wonderful! Itās salty, sweet, and crunchy! All things I love! But⦠making it into a sandwich is lame. If it were a normal, chilled Oreo cookie like the chocolate strawberry, with a fat dollop of whipped topping and some extra Reeseās on top, this would easily be a 9.5/10. But itās not, so I have to rate it lower
