So, the
hottest thing in the Paducah area seems to be Crumbl Cookies. It’s been rumored to be opening for
months. It finally opened last Friday
the 10th and my understanding is that it’s been packed ever
since. I’ve been told there is always a
line out the door into the sidewalk.
I’ve never
had a Crumbl cookie. Our son brought some
over last weekend, and they were really good.
He also took our granddaughter last Friday to get some. They are very large cookies. They are very dense, almost cake like. They have different flavors each week. I had
the chocolate chip (a young lady at church told me I was boring). Donna had pumpkin chocolate chip.
We looked at
this week’s flavors and they looked really good. I of course wanted the boring chocolate
chip. Donna really wanted a carrot cake
cookie. They also had a buttermilk
pancake cookie and a honey bun cookie. So,
while I was out doing errands, I ordered these four on the Crumbl cookie app. When I arrived, there was indeed a line out
the door. A young lady finally allowed those of us who
used the app to come inside. There is a
digital board with names on it to tell you approximately what order in line you
are. After a bit of a wait, the young
lady brought out my pink box. She showed
me what was in it for my approval. I
then headed out with my cookies. We ate
them when we got home. Donna said they
were all great. I tried the buttermilk
pancake and honey bun and they were really good.
So, a couple
of things you should note. The cookies
aren’t cheap. Single ones are over 4.00
apiece. If you order them in groups of
four or six, they are a bit cheaper.
All they have are the six “cookies of the week” plus water or milk. That’s it.
They also routinely run out of
certain ones during the day. They make
them from scratch, so I would expect that.
I strongly recommend you get the Crumbl app. It will tell you if a cookie is temporarily sold
out. I saw several people come in wanting
the Strawberry Cheesecake cookie to find out they were sold out until they
could make more.
I am going to
really watch out to not stop there every week. It’s located close to the Wal-Mart/Kentucky
Oaks Mall. I could see me getting
cookies each week. That isn’t good for
my waistline or my wallet.
Now as a bonus,
I will give you a Stuart Yancy insider tip.
I am going to tell you where you can get a great chocolate chip
cookie. In fact, you can get a baker’s dozen
of them for about what you pay for one Crumbl cookie. Where might that be? McDonalds!
In fact, when you order them through the McDonalds app, there is often a
deal where you can get free fries with them since they cost more than two
dollars. What more could you ask
for? The cookies also meet with my
granddaughter Lucy’s approval. She loves
going to McDonalds to get them. Granddad
makes us wait to order them until Lucy eats all her Happy Meal. I order them on the app and Lucy loves going
to the counter to get them when they call my name.
I need to stop
now. I have a strong desire for another cookie.
