Select Crumbl Cookies Locations: Buy 4 Cookies, Expired

This is not the scandal that people apparently think it is. They're using this cake mix as an ingredient, along with other ingredients that still makes their cookies unique. Not saying you have to like them or buy them but if you think all other bakeries are cooking everything from dead scratch you're wrong. Especially when you're dealing with chain stores that need to have consistency between locations. If they were smarter they'd buy these in bulk though (perhaps there was some kind of sale locally).

Again, if you don't like the cookies or think you can easily make better cookies, that's fine, but it's a completely different argument. I can make better burgers than McDonalds but I'm not gonna jump on every McDonalds thread and say don't get the McDonalds deals.

Are they WAY overpriced? Definitely. Are they also delicious? Oh Yeah!
I see them for what they are- a brilliantly marketed, not worth the price, indulgence.

Sure, thru trail and error, I could learn to bake similar myself- but that is buying a lot of ingredients (if I want different flavors) + time + having dozens of these cookies about, which is too much of stuff this rich to have around.

Or I can waste a little disposable income and treat myself and family.

What I am saying is- I'm in for a 6 pack, thanks OP!

And they are way too sweet.
