Review: Crumbl Cookies & Cream Cake Cookie
If you’ve ever wished a slice of cake could shrink down into a cookie, the Cookies & Cream Cake Cookie might just be the closest you’ll get. It’s rich, it’s messy, and it walks the line between cake and cookie in a way that only Crumbl attempts.
First Impressions
This cookie looks like a party—dark cookie base, fluffy topping, and a swirl that suggests indulgence. But the first thing you’ll notice once you cut into it is how soft and moist the “cake” part really is. Unlike a typical Crumbl cookie, which leans dense, this one has more bounce, almost like a cupcake pressed flat.
Flavor Notes
Flavor-wise, it promises cookies and cream but mostly delivers chocolate. The chocolate cake dominates, with just enough creaminess from the topping to keep it from being one-note. It’s tasty, but if you were hoping for Oreo-level “cookies & cream” intensity, you may feel like the cookie stopped short of delivering that.
Texture & Mess Factor
This one is messy. The cake base crumbles easily, and the frosting melts into it. It’s a good messy if you’re eating at home, but maybe not something you want in the car or at your desk. Still, that moisture makes it enjoyable to eat—the cake holds its softness right to the last bite.
Ratios & Balance
Crumbl did a solid job on ratios here. The frosting doesn’t overwhelm the cake (which is often the danger with frosted cookies). The topping adds sweetness and creaminess without drowning the base. Still, the cake could have been stronger on the “cream” side to live up to the name.
Bottom Line
This cookie is fun, rich, and indulgent—but more of a “chocolate cake cookie” than a true cookies & cream experience. If you’re after a dessert that feels like double chocolate cake, this one delivers. If you’re chasing that Oreo magic, you may be left wishing for a little more.
