Warm and soft cookies are the best cookies
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. 🤤
RAW? doesnt that have raw egg
Raw egg is fine iirc it’s the flour that is a concern
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.
oh
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
Because I will eat fistfuls of raw cookie dough. Raw eggs are safe where I’m at anyways.
I think it’s more the risk from the raw flour than eggs.
It’s the flour.
Everybody knows that. Duh
It’s both in the US, uncooked eggs can give salmonella. But most places that have “edible cookie dough” use non-raw flour and no eggs so you can actually eat the dough raw safely.
You can make safe edible cookie dough pretty easily . The eggs aren’t the only issue, it’s the flour itself. If you bake it at like 275F for 30 mins in a sheet pan it’ll sterilize it. For edible cookie dough that won’t be baked you don’t even need eggs.
Having said that, I too have eaten my share of regular cookie dough.
Had no idea raw flour wasn’t safe. The store bought safe cookie dough always tastes like cardboard to me
Starting with my grandmother, I’ve been warned by the various bakers in my life for about 50 years that the various kinds of raw dough I have wheedled them into giving me or snuck off of their work area will give me a stomach ache or cause other issues. The most recent time I was warned in this way was surely less than 2 months ago.
So far so good, not a single problem, and I never pass up a chance to eat uncooked batter or dough.
I am absolutely not saying the risk doesn’t exist, but the chance of it seems so minuscule (based on my anecdotal lifelong experience) that I only ever think about it when someone brings it up.
If I bought something prepackaged on a grocery store shelf, like from nabisco or whatever, that was undercooked, I wouldn’t eat it. From the kitchen of a relative or right from a bakery - has never given me pause.
If you bake dry flour , remember to NOT use convection.
Because of the fan?
Flour is flammable and light. If the fan makes a bunch of it fly around in your oven the heating element could ignite it. Search YouTube for “flour fire”.
Probably not super dangerous at if you’re just baking a sheet pan of flour, but good to be safe.
It tastes like cardboard because you’re eating it refrigerated.
Cookie dough you make yourself is often warm from the melted butter
I suppose it’s so you can take them home and cook them the way you like them.
Must be a local thing.
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
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 😂
Agreed, I will take my mom’s homemade plain oatmeal cookies over these any day
Not to mention the fact that a single cookie is nearly half your daily caloric needs
That’s basically every cookie
Brownies too, I am not a fan.
Because they are yummy?
Because the chocolate chip cookie recipe they put on the back of the chocolate chip bag is already the scientifically best possible recipe. It can no longer be improved. That’s why cookie influencers have to resort to stupid shit like this. All the good ideas have already been figured out so the best they can do is play pretend with the stupid ideas.
Reminds me of the idiots at a recent brewery that had an awful tasting Porter. When I complained, they mentioned using an IPA base. I literally laughed.
When you say trend, is it only on TikTok?
Crumbl cookies shops are popping up everywhere. Lines around the block.
Ah, they’re not over here. That’s why I’ve beer heard of it.
I wonder if this trend will catch on to not cooking anything else properly?
I had no idea this was a trend.
