Still trying to catch up to the current week's Crumbl flavors. This was last week's so I'm getting there. The lineup for last week was (in the picture below: left to right, top to bottom) Fried Ice Cream, Lemonade, Cotton Candy, Old-Fashioned Doughnut, Milk Chocolate Chip and Walnut Fudge Brownie.
I only meant to try one flavor this week. I was intrigued by the Fried Ice Cream, having never had it before. But it's a chilled cookie and while I always let them come to room temperature before I eat one, some of the online reviews said the topping got stale and was mostly cornflakes. Pass. I don't care for cotton candy and while I figured the doughnut one would be good, it bothers me (yes, I can be bothered by a cookie concept) that the middle is missing to mimic a real doughnut. The middle is the best part of a cookie! I wasn't interested in the Walnut Fudge brownie either as I don't like walnuts and I often find Crumbl's chocolate cookies to be too rich for me. So I was only going to get the Lemonade last week.

But yes, you'll notice the pictures of the Walnut Fudge Brownie. No I didn't weaken and change my mind. I was out doing errands and there
just happened to be a Crumbl nearby that I hadn't tried before. So of course I went to try it. I ordered the Lemonade and when they gave it to me, to my surprise, the Crumbl guy gave me two additional boxes of the Walnut Fudge brownie cookie.
Two.
I suspect these were extras they had too much of but I'm not one to look at gift cookies askance so I thanked him, told him "that's so nice of you" and was really glad I always tip when I buy a cookie as I had just gotten 3 cookies for the price of one. And it turns out I did like this cookie. I still don't care for walnuts but the cookie itself was just like a (delicious) brownie, rather than the sometimes too-rich Crumbl chocolate cookie. This store also had the perfect amount of glaze, not too much or too thick. I ate half a cookie and put the other 1 1/2 cookies in the freezer to enjoy later.

| Lemonade |
I was full from the unexpected half cookie brownie so I had to wait to try the Lemonade. Which worked out since it was initially chilled and I had to let it come to room temperature.
I loved this cookie. It was the perfect, slightly underbaked texture of a Crumbl sugar cookie although not quite as sweet. The lemonade frosting was nicely tart. There was a little too much frosting for me but not the usual layer of a thickly frosted Crumbl cookie. The frosting complemented the cookie perfectly.
The texture of the cookie base was so good I debated going back the next day to get another Lemonade to freeze for later. I resisted the temptation since I still had 1 1/2 Walnut Brownie cookies in the freezer already (plus a few other random piece of past cookies) but yes, I did think about it. This definitely goes on my list to get again. I also have to keep this particular Crumbl location in mind for a repeat visit, not in the hopes of getting free cookies again (although that wouldn't hurt my feelings) but because they baked both cookies just right.
