october 2019 - Crumbl cookies
The very first Crumbl opened in Logan, UT. It all started with one big dream, two crazy cousins, and the perfect combination of flour, sugar, and chocolate chips. After thousands of dollars in wasted dough, recipes that did not live up to their expectations, and cookies that were just plain embarrassing to them today, the cousins decided to try something a little unique and A/B test their way to the perfect cookie. They would take the exact same cookie, change out one ingredient like chocolate chips, and randomly visit local gas stations and grocery stores simply asking one question: "Which one of these two cookies is the best?" They continued this testing on ingredients and cooking methods until they came up with what they believe is the world's best chocolate chip cookie. Now the franchise has expanded to over 31 locations in 6 different states, each continuing to spread warm, fresh, delicious cookies to Crumblrs everywhere. The American Fork Crumbl has been active in several community events and has shown great pride in creating cookies that everyone can enjoy.
