how to serve Crumbl Cookies
Serve cookies at room temperature so the frosting feels soft. You can add a sprinkle of sea salt or small fruit pieces on top for color. Try pairing with milk or coffee. For a fun dessert cup idea, you might like the Cookies and Cream Dessert Cups to serve with cookies.
how to store Crumbl Cookies
Keep frosted cookies in an airtight box in the fridge for up to 5 days. Put parchment between layers so they do not stick. For unfrosted cookies, store in a sealed container at room temperature for 2–3 days. You can freeze baked, cooled cookies for up to 2 months; thaw before frosting.

- Measure flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling it off. This stops dry dough.

- Do not overbake — take cookies out when centers still look soft.
