Every week, the popular cookie shop Crumbl Cookie reveals a menu of six cookies. These flavorful baked treats are beloved by many, but I decided to try out this array of cookies and see which one was ultimately my top choice. The cookies ranked were Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunk, Banana Split, Cookie Butter Lava, Cowboy Cookie, Chocolate Sea Salt Toffee and Cookies & Cream Milkshake. Below is my full ranking of this week’s six cookies.

#1 – In first place is the Cookie Butter Lava cookie. This was an overall basic cookie, other than its Lotus Biscoff cookie butter spread drizzled on top of it. The plainness of this cookie made it easy and simple to enjoy, as it wasn’t too overwhelming or overpowering. Additionally, the Lotus Biscoff (a caramelized cookie from the brand Lotus Bakeries) that was mixed into the cookie gave it a delicious, warm taste.

#2 – Coming in second place is the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunk. This was a simple, classic chocolate chip cookie and it did not disappoint. It was a perfect mix of chewy and crunchy and it had a good amount of chocolate chips. The only downside was the sprinkle of sea salt on the cookie, as it did not mix well with the rest of it and stood out in an overpowering way.

#3 – Coming in third place is the Cowboy Cookie. This cookie had a delicious mix of chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and toasted pecans. This cookie was similar to the Cookie Butter Lava, it didn’t have any frosting or sweet flavors. The only reason it isn’t higher is at some times I thought it was a bit dry, but overall, this was a tasty blend of flavors and texture.

#4 – Fourth place is The Banana Split cookie. This cookie was a mini-banana split dessert, with banana mousse, chocolate drizzle, whipped cream and a cherry on top. I thought this cookie was overall pretty good, but I did not enjoy the mousse that topped the cookie. As the mousse was covering the entire cookie, it made it hard for me to enjoy this one.

#5 – In fifth place is the Chocolate Sea Salt Toffee cookie. This was a chocolate cookie with caramel, milk chocolate chips, and buttery toffee. I really wanted to like this one but unfortunately, the caramel and sea salt were not a good mix for me because of the strong flavors of both and I did not end up liking the taste of this one. 

#6 – Unfortunately in sixth place is the Cookies & Cream Milkshake cookie, a cookie mixed with chunks of cookie topped with vanilla buttercream and a mini Oreo. For this one, I thought the buttercream was way too sweet and I did not enjoy the overall taste of the “oreo” elements of the cookie. Personally, the sweetness and taste of the cookie made it hard to enjoy.
