Crumbl Cookies but make it from Dollar Tree!

Been making cake mix cookies for 25 + years. 1 box of cake mix 2 eggs 1/2 cup oil or butter

[@martitasez]

@@glennamanos7384 thank you. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge

[@nohemichaidez4633]

​@@glennamanos7384would the butter need to be chilled, room temperature, or melted?

[@glennamanos7384]

@@nohemichaidez4633 I always melt it because it mimics the oil texture. I bet room temp would work too. I'll try that next time. There are so many flavors you can make and add ins you can use. Chocolate chips, coconut, marchino cherries, white chocolate chips, nuts, butterscotch chips, fruits, peanut butter, sprinkles to make bday cake cookies. The list is endless. Sometimes if I'm in a hurry I make pan cookies in a 13 x 9 and cut them in bars/ squares. Also you can use the icing like German chocolate , lemon with lemon cookies ECT. Let you taste buds decide.😀

I've been making cake mix cookies for decades: cake mix ,1/2 c oil ,2 eggs 350° 9-11 minutes. Brownie mix cookies: 18 oz brownie mix,2 eggs 1/4 c flour, 1/4 c oil 1tsp vanilla Roll dough into balls 375° for 10 min, cool on pan 10 min remove to cooling rack

[@billiesalzer1867]

That would have been my suggestion oil instead of butter😊

[@mommacrow3170]

I've made these for years... All sizes... Giant cookies for Christmas mornings or birthdays were always a hit. My favorite combo is to use a butter cake mix add chopped pecans 1egg 1/2 cup of oil... Tastes like pecan sandies.

[@tanyadavis6513]

The brownie cookie failed because the sugar to flour ratio in brownies is much different than a cake or cookie mix. Brownies have much more sugar. Also the Imperial margarine is high water content. There was not enough flour in the brownie mix to even it out. If I want a brownie type cookie, I use a triple chocolate cake mix. I also prefer the Duncan Hines Cake Mix Cookie recipe. It is normally on the box.

[@lisatrautner1274]

Butter should be used, not margarine!

[@serenaburgdorf9543]

you could also add flour to the mix to help correct the ratio - give it more body

[@stacyrussell460]

Love how you include the fails. Not every recipe idea will turn out Pinterest worthy. We truly appreciate your effort. The other cookies look amazing! Never had a Crumble cookie (not in my budget).

[@crazymeowchick]

Loved this video! I also liked how you showed the ones that didn't turn out as well. Can this be a regular series where you recreate expensive items using Dollar tree ingredients? Sprinkles cupcakes or those fancy crepe cake places

[@pamelalansbury94]

I’ve never thought Sprinkles cupcakes were better than any box mix made at home. They look cute but taste blah to me.

I've made a cranberry orange cookie from a white box cake mix. I love cranberry orange muffins and was so sad when Starbucks stopped carrying the cranberry orange scone. It came out so good.

Rebecca, I've never had a Crumbl cookie, but those looked so delicious. I worked in my college bakery & I had to get up at 3:15 a.m. to go to work, then go to classes afterward. I did that for 4 yrs. It's not for the faint of heart. 😊

It was fun to watch you make these cookies! Your toothpaste commercial smile was never brighter! I had a good laugh too, especially when the brownie cookies didn't turn out. Your face said "cow pie," but the look in your eyes said "be professional, remember the FCC rules." You made me feel as if I could make these and have the same results as well. I'm inspired! Hope you and yours are having a great Labor Day!

or crumble them up to put on another invention. i could see the peanut butter with crumbles of fail on top with a little less reeses . i'm big on peanut butter and chocolate anything

[@catherinefrasier4051]

You did a great job! I tried doing the same thing with the lemon drop cookies from Panera. I used the sugar cookie mix. lemon flavoring and added white chocolate chips. I agree with you, this is a great kitchen journey!!

Thank you for including the misses as well as the wins.

I love your enthusiasm for trying to copycat on a budget. I am a fan of crumbl cookies, but they often don’t have a flavor I want on that particular day, like the Reese’s one. I’m excited to try these! Crumbl also sells an expensive little device to cut the cookie into 4, because really, it’s too much to eat that much cookie, and we all know no one has a knife to do this themselves 🤦‍♀️. I’m definitely trying these! Thank you!

[@NannyTam]

Fantastic experiment! I’d say it was actually a success, considering what you learned! I’m so impressed. Also, I’m happy you donated to the food pantry! Maybe you could could make a brownie, pudding, cool whip type trifle with the failed brownie? All in all, kudos to you and thanks for sharing 👏👏👏🥰

[@CandCbyPegi]

I've read that you need to add some flour to the brownie mix when making cookies. I think it tightens up the dough.

I would break those messed up brownie cookies into pieces, add some vanilla pudding, whipped cream, bananas, pecans, mix up and serve in bowls as desserts. Love your ideas. I have a cookbook you might like. It is:The Ultimate Shortcut Cookie Book by Camilla V. Saulsbury. Recipes using cake and other mixes. Thanks because you helped me remember I had this.

[@htmike63]

I used to make something similar - ‘Death by Chocolate Trifle’. It’s really simple; brownie pieces, instant chocolate pudding, cool whip and some crushed Heath bars. Just layer the brownie bits, pudding, cool whip (or whipped cream, but CW is more stable) and the toffee bits. Looks impressive in a glass bowl.

[@dinahsoar6982]

I'd prob put them in some ice cream, lol..vanilla or choc..or coffee ice cream, top with some whipped cream..

[@bethbrec]

[@1bwash]

Your channel reminds me of Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee on the Food Network. I don't mean this as insult because I know you put so much work and thought into what you're doing and all independently. But it's the whole concept of maximizing limitations. I just would watch that show as a kid and then when I was on my own as an adult it was utilizing those ideas and being creative in order to eat well without much money. And my god, the way you give back to your community with going to the food pantry and by recognizing people have limitations in terms of equipment to cook. You really are an angel.

i love this video! i have been seeing crumbl cookie recipes all over pinterest. i had never heard of them before. i've made cookies with cake mixes for a long time. you can make them with brownie mix too, just need different amounts of added ingredients. however you can take the brownie cookies you made, crumble them up and add some cream cheese and mix well. then form into balls and freeze. then dip in melted chocolate chips or almond bark for cake pops.

Thanks, DTD. Again, your presentation is beautiful, and fun to watch. I went to the local Dollar Tree a few days ago and can bake some of these cookies , too! 😃💜 I love strawberry things!

Did you make them yet? I, too, bought the stuff for it, but I got a delivery order from Walmart (it's free W the yearly subscription so I use it as often as possible, lol, plus I used to work there shopping for online orders & it's ruined any Walmart shopping for me for life 😂😭😂🚫🛒) and didn't realize she used Chocolate Chip COOKIE MIX and not the Martha White muffin mix for the S'mores gahhh! My son really wanted the s'mores ones, so I'm just going to go for it and see what happens.... I'm not sure why she switched to the cookie mix instead of muffin so it might be a total fail, lol I hope not though! 🤞🤞

The dough is a little loose but a few minutes in the fridge helps. Good, easy & we pretty much always have the ingredients on hand.

This was an amazing video. I'm always trying to find new cookie ideas to make at home.

[@eathomelive]

What a fantastic video! I really thought those were crumble cookies in the box at the beginning!!I am trying them all. For the snickerdoodle, I would add 1 tsp. cream or tartar if you have it, to the sugar cookie mix. It will give them that distinct snickerdoodle tang. It might make them puff up a bit more, because it reacts with baking soda.

On the strawberry flavor, I think DT has freeze dried strawberries too. You could powder it and mix it into the dough to give it a bit more strawberry punch. 50c for a box is awesome! I tried to buy them on ebay and I couldn't find any. Good to know I can go buy a box from Crumbl. I'm totally going to do that when I take cookies to the neighbors! This was so much fun to watch. Thanks for doing the hard work for us!

[@DollarTreeDinners]
