    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?

      Apologies for the late reply, but yes, refrigerating the dough overnight will be fine 🙂

    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!!!

      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.

        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! 😊🍪

      those trips to crumbl cookie were getting expensive so decided to give these a shot. I’m glad I did as my whole family absolutely loved them. I’m going to try the biscoff once next.

        I haven’t tried making this recipe as a cookie bar but I am sure it would work great! I would try and make it in an 8×8 inch pan. Start checking for doneness at around 15-17 minutes!
