Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store Crumbl cowboy cookies?

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. I like to add a pice of bread to the container with the cookie to keep them extra soft and chewy.

You can also store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week. Make sure to let them get back to room temperature or microwave them for 5-10 seconds before enjoying them to get that ooey-gooey deliciousness!

CAN I FREEZE THESE COOKIES?

You can also store them in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Let them thaw in the fridge overnight or just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds and enjoy!

CAN I MAKE CATERING-SIZED COOKIES FOR THIS RECIPE?

Of course! I have tried making catering-sized mom’s recipe cookies and they worked great.

Instead of making 10 large cookies, go for 20 smaller ones. If using a large cookie scooper, scoop out 10 equally sized cookie dough balls then split them in 2 to have 20. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes then let them cool down on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
