This isn’t just any cookie—it’s a decadent experience, capturing the essence of Crumbl’s famous chocolate crumb cake cookie. A smooth chocolate ganache is generously spread over the top after cooling for a bit, adding a silky layer of sweetness that melts into the cookie. To finish, a fudge streusel is scattered over the glaze, providing a satisfying crunch and an extra dose of chocolate goodness.
