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 1/4 cup cookies divide each large cookie dough ball in half making 16 smaller cookies instead of 8 large ones.

Fill them up with 1/4 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.
