How can you customize these copycat Crumbl cookies?
You can adjust various ingredients and techniques to create cookies with different flavors, textures, and appearances. Musgrave notes, "You can add in caramel, crushed peanut butter cups, or sprinkles to these cookies for more flavor." Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark, milk, white, or even flavored chips like butterscotch or mint. Use chunks of chocolate or chop up your favorite chocolate bar for irregular and gooey chocolate pockets.
Add nuts like walnuts, pecans, almonds, or macadamia nuts for a crunchy and nutty texture. Incorporate dried fruits like cranberries, raisins, or cherries for a sweet and tangy twist. Add a touch of vanilla extract, almond extract, or a hint of citrus zest (lemon, orange) to enhance the cookie's flavor. Try using browned butter for a nutty and toasty flavor, or use coconut oil for a unique twist. Experiment with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom for a warm and aromatic touch. The opportunities are endless.
What can you serve with these copycat Crumbl Cookies?
Chocolate chip cookies are a versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or paired with various accompaniments. The classic and most beloved pairing with chocolate chip cookies is a glass of cold milk, whether regular or non-dairy. This complements the sweetness and richness of the cookies. Musgrave notes, "You can serve a classic milk and cookies pairing, or serve the chocolate chip cookie with red wine for adults."
Besides beverages, fresh fruit can provide a refreshing contrast to the sweetness of the cookies. Sliced strawberries, bananas, or berries can work well. You can even make a simple fruit salad. A dollop of homemade whipped cream or whipped topping can add a light and airy element to the cookies. Spread peanut butter, almond butter, or any nut butter on the cookies for an extra layer of flavor. It's a delightful combination of sweet and savory. Pairing cookies with a cheese platter featuring a variety of cheeses, crackers, and some fruit can be a unique and savory twist.
