Crumbl Cookies unveiled its latest menu addition, the Mooncake Cookie, just in time for the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. In Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a Chinese cultural holiday also referred to as Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, Mooncakes are consumed as a symbol of prosperity and togetherness. However, the cakes boast a long history of cultural significance.
Crumbl's Mooncake Cookie captures one of the popular Mooncake flavors, almond and nut. This cookie is a bright gold cookie with an almond cream filling, meant to replicate the taste of an almond mooncake. Additionally, the surface of the Mooncake Cookie has been stamped with a pattern commonly found on the surface of real mooncakes. This cookie is meant as an appreciative homage to the culture.
Crumbl's new Mooncake Cookie is available now through September 17th, 2022, while supplies last.
