Exactly the same as crumbl but better so good! Chefs kiss
Why does it say, “2 & 1 cup of flour” in the ingredient list for the base? What does this mean? 3 cups of flour?
Yes that’s 3 cups. It’s because the original recipe calls 1 and 1/2 cups of flour. But you doubled, and that feature of the of the recipe card just multiplies what it sees without combining the two together. So it means 3.
is the 500 and something calories for each cookie
These cookies were SO good! Literally tasted like a cinnamon roll but in a soft cookie!
YAY! So great to hear this Kara!
These were the first cookies I made after moving into our new house. So good. Soft, moist, and a great balance of flavors. They are a fair amount of work since there are three separate components to make, but are absolutely worth it. Will be making them again for sure.
This is great to hear Jeremy! Glad you enjoyed them!
Disclaimer: I couldn’t wait to eat these so I didn’t let them cool! My frosting was pretty runny and not very maple-y. Maybe user error? I wouldn’t say it’s an exact replica of the crumbl one, but it’s really freaking good!
That’s why it’s important to let it cool so it won’t be runny! I’m glad you enjoyed it though 😊
Thanks for the recipe. Must say these are better than the real ones
You’re the best!
