I love your recipes, and have made several of your Crumbl copycat recipes. I am about to triple this recipe, because I am giving them out to clients. Will it be okay if I make the dough now, refrigerate overnight, then bake them once I get the dough to room temp tomorrow?
Chahinez
Apologies for the late reply, but yes, refrigerating the dough overnight will be fine 🙂
Kelli
Oh my goodness made these with a Christmas spin 😍 used Ghirardelli peppermint squares along with dark chocolate chips. Yummmmyyyy

Crumbl usually over-sweetens theirs, so I try to tone it down a bit haha glad you liked it.

Adelynn
These are delicious!! I made two batches. The first I followed exactly but for the second I ran out of chocolate chips so instead topped them with leftover chocolate icing I had. Highly recommend both!!!
Chahinez
It sounds like you got creative with your cookie batches! Using chocolate icing as a topping is a great idea, especially when you’re running low on chocolate chips. I’m glad to hear that both versions turned out delicious.
Janai
I love these cookies! They were too soft for me so I just put them in the oven for a little longer, but they are really good still! I love your recipes!
Chahinez
I’m so glad you enjoyed the cookies! If you prefer them a bit firmer, extending the baking time a little is a great idea. Just make sure to check them towards the end to avoid overbaking! Thank you so much for the feedback, I’m thrilled you love the recipes! 😊🍪
