Crumbl cookies hit the scene in 2017 as a two-person operation in Utah. As the company grew, its popularity went viral due to the giant, mouthwatering cookies that are freshly baked and frosted. Crumbl cookies are very big and therefore have a lot of fat and sugar, but they sell a cookie cutter for $8 that evenly divides its cookies into four servings, or you can cut them at home yourself.  I cut my crumble cookies into six servings and they are a decadent treat! If you didn’t know, crumble cookies have a rotating menu so you have to check each week to see what flavors are featured, but you can get chocolate chip anytime. Their waffle-flavored cookie is a favorite so here is an inspired recipe to make while you’re waiting for it to make an appearance.
