Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ
How to store these cookies for later?
You can store these Curmbl cookie butter lava cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
You can also store them in the fridge for up to a week. I definitely recommend microwaving them for a few seconds to get the center ooey gooey again.
Can I freeze these cookies?
These cookies freeze so well. you can flash freeze them on a baking sheet for 20 minutes to allow the toppings to set then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
When you are ready to enjoy them thaw at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge overnight. My Microwave tip stands here too! Heat them up just a little bit to get them ooey gooey again.
Can I make smaller cookie butter lava cookies?
Absolutley! Instead of making large ¼ cup cookies divide each large cookie dough ball in half making 16 smaller cookies instead of 8 large ones.
Fill them up with ¼ tablespoon frozen cookie butter and bake for 7 minutes instead of 10 minutes. They will look a little underdone but allow them to cool down and set.

Made these this weekend – amazing! I did have to bake a little longer. My kids canceled their weekly trip to Crumble because these were so good they didn’t need to go!!!
Chahinez
That’s fantastic! It sounds like your homemade cookies were a big hit. It’s always great when you can recreate a favorite treat at home.

I’ve probably made this recipe 4 times now! It’s such a solid recipe! The first few times were a little bit of a learning curves but a few things i have discovered that made making these a breeze! I half melted the cookie butter that was going to be placed in the freezer and used a baggie to pipe it onto my parchment paper lined cookie sheet so i didn’t have to deal with scooping cookie butter out! I chilled the dough for 30ish mins before stuffing and baking and it made it a really stunning texture!! And i definitely recommend making the smaller version of the cookies! More work to get the cookies rolled but the larger cookies are massive and i find it easier to manage the smaller ones! (I felt like i always burned the bottom of the bigger ones!) thanks so much for this fabulous cookie recipe!!
Chahinez

what is cookie butter? what country are you in,? never heard of it in the USA
Chahinez
Cookie butter is a dessert spread made from Belgian spiced cookies called speculoos. The spread is typically made by blending speculoos cookies with cane sugar, and various types of vegetable oil and flour. It’s actually quite known here in the USA. It’s a big country so theres probably so many things you don’t know about still!

Made these soon as the recipe dropped! These were absolutely perfect and had the exact amount of cookie butter in the base where it tasted like the Crumbl version. These are very accurate! like VERY accurate to the ones I make at Crumbl. Great recipe!
