Pink sprinkle donuts are some of the most iconic donuts out there and now this classic bakery treat is also available in cookie form with the launch of [Crumbl's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raspberry-doughnut-cookie) new Pink Donut Cookies.

Just like a classic prink sprinkle donut (think the kind Homer fantasizes about in 'The Simpsons'), Crumbl's newest cookie is a perfectly round soft vanilla cookie with a hole in the middle and a pink glaze on top. Of course, the whole thing is also decorated with tiny rainbow sprinkles.

The new Pink Donut Cookies are available for a limited time as part of the menu for the week ending October 15th. Alongside the donut-like cookies, Crumbl is also serving up a Pink Velvet Cake Cookie, [Raspberry Lemonade Cookie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-donut-classic-cookie), and more.
