Do Crumbl Cookies Need To Be Refrigerated (And How Long Will They Last)?

Crumbl's success since 2020 has been a remarkable feat of social media prowess and marketing. However, it cannot be forgotten that, above all, Crumbl has thrived as a result of its cookie recipes. Becoming what must be considered the premier cookie store in America, the Crumbl craze has been in full force over the past couple of years, and shows no signs of slowing down. Along with its remarkable popularity come some questions about how to get the most out of your Crumbl cookie. Nobody wants to be the person to waste their sweet (and let's face it, not inexpensive) treat by storing or attempting to reheat it incorrectly. 

Luckily, the storing process for Crumbl cookies is pretty simple.Typically, there is no need to refrigerate your Crumbl cookies —whether it's Milk Chocolate Chip or Classic Pink Sugar — after bringing them home, as they should more-or-less maintain their freshness about a week when stored at room temperature. But if you opt to move them to cold storage, there are a few things to keep in mind.

If you don't foresee yourself eating your cookies (even the Mini-Mondays ones) within the first week of purchasing it, refrigeration actually isn't the best option. Instead, storing the cookies in the freezer and allowing them to thaw at room temperature is the best way to maintain the quality and flavor of your Crumbl cookies for a longer period, according to Crumbl itself. 

Finally, when it comes to reheating your crumbly desserts, there is no reason not to do so. If you're looking to get them back to gooey, both the microwave or the oven are both valid options, just be conscious of how long you heat them up, respectively. It should take no longer than a couple of minutes in the oven or a just a handful of seconds in the microwave to achieve the optimal temperature and consistency of a warm Crumbl treat.
