    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.

      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 😂

          The point was that Crumbl is shit, not the socio-economic choices I make when eating cookies.

        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.

    I don’t think it’s the raw part that’s the trend so much as big cookies are, and big cookies tend to be less cooked in the center.

    But then again, raw cookie dough is delicious. 🤤

    you can buy raw cookie dough thats meant to be eaten uncooked. and not some niche thing, its at all the big box grocery stores. its no stretch to imagine why a half-baked cookie might be a thing

    The raw dough makes me slightly uncomfortable, so I’m entirely certain that I should violently impose my preferences on everyone who does not agree.

    One thing to consider is that delivery and takeout are significantly more popular than they were 4 years ago. Some of these chains either anticipate or encourage you to heat your cookies just before you eat them and halfway cooking them gives the best results. A place just down the road from me encourages 1 minute on high in the air fryer or 3 in a toaster oven before eating

    When you say trends, is it among people not baking long enough? I love gooey cookies as well, but that looks raw.

    Recently I used store made cookie dough (because “safe to eat raw”!) in a cast iron pan to make it more like a brownie, maybe like this. Surprise, it’s much thicker than a standard cookie so needs to be cooked longer than the directions say

        Ah, they’re not over here. That’s why I’ve never heard of it.

        I wonder if this trend will catch on to not cooking anything else properly?

    You have your preference, I have mine. An underdone cookie is gooey and melty but still brown around the edges, best of both worlds.
