Crumbl Review: Peanut Butter Jelly Cookie
This one is built around a really nostalgic flavour combo, so the expectation is pretty straightforward — it should taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but in cookie form. The challenge with that is always balance, because peanut butter can easily take over everything if it’s not controlled.
The base of the cookie leans heavily into peanut butter. It’s soft, slightly dense, and has that smooth, classic peanut butter cookie texture. It doesn’t crumble or dry out, which is important, but it definitely sits on the heavier side compared to some of the other cookies this week.
Flavour-wise, the peanut butter is the dominant note right away. It’s strong, but not overly salty or dry, which helps keep it enjoyable. However, because it’s so present, the jelly element has to work a bit harder to stand out.
The jelly adds a bright, slightly sweet contrast that cuts through the peanut butter. It doesn’t overpower it — instead, it sits on top of it and gives you that familiar PB&J flavour. You get moments where the jelly really comes through, and those are what make the cookie feel complete.
Texture-wise, it’s a mix of soft and smooth from the peanut butter base with a slightly thicker, almost sticky element from the jelly. It’s not messy, but it does lean more toward that dessert-style feel rather than a clean, simple cookie.
This is definitely a more specific cookie. If you like peanut butter, you’ll enjoy it. If you’re looking for something more balanced, it might feel a bit one-sided.
Final Verdict:
A nostalgic cookie that delivers on the PB&J concept, but leans heavily peanut butter. Good, but a bit one-directional.
