Crumbl Just Changed the Cookie That 'Started It All'
Crumbl's Chocolate Chip Cookie may look and taste a little different from how you remember it, and that's because it is different from the original it launched nine years ago.
Ahead of the long Memorial Day Weekend, the cult-favorite bakery chain revealed it's launching a "new and improved" version of the classic treat, fittingly dubbed the Better Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie.
According to a statement shared in an email with Parade, the revised recipe has been in the works for some time as part of its "brand-wide commitment to perfecting the craft."
Crumbl Launches a "New and Improved" Chocolate Chip Cookie
Crumbl said its new recipe was meticulously developed by Crumbl's founders and culinary team to "set a new gold standard" for what a spokesperson called the cookie that "started it all."

An official description suggests the new Chocolate Chip Cookie features a classic warm brown sugar cookie that's loaded with a "dual-chocolate blend" of milk chocolate chips and rich semi-sweet chocolate chunks. Crumbl says the updates deliver "deep, rich chocolate flavor and an edge-to-edge chocolate experience in every single bite," going on to joke that it's "Timeless. Iconic. Always available."
While the brand didn't go into detail about the changes when comparing its original Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie to the new one, it appears that Crumbl is doubling down on chocolate inclusions and updating the recipe to include semi-sweet chocolate chunks alongside the milk chocolate chips, hopefully making it even more melty and chocolatey.
That's not all Crumbl has in store for fans as we inch closer to the official summer kickoff. Beyond the updated recipe, the brand is also evolving its menu model to give fans more variety and "more reasons to come back every week."
The Chain Is Also Reworking Its Menu-Completely
According to the announcement, Crumbl will move away from its current model-which features about five weekly rotating options and six always-available flavors-beginning today and customers will notice that its menu now offers four seasonal cookies alongside six weekly-rotating flavors and a weekly-rotating set of Thins.
- Summer Classics – The season's most iconic cookies, available every day all summer long, including the new Chocolate Chip Cookie, S'mores Cookie, Pink Sugar Cookie, and Brownie Batter Cookie.
- Cookie Thins, Now Every Day – Crumbl's best-selling thin cookies are now available all week long, rotating weekly so there's always something new to try. Crispy, caramelized edges. A chewy center. Perfectly paired in a set of two.
Crumbl said its new Better Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie and revised menu options will be available at all of its stores starting Monday, May 25 (prices may vary).
