Crumbl Dubai-Style Chocolate Cookie

What the Dubai-Style Chocolate Cookie is

Crumbl describes it as “A rich brownie cookie layered with crunchy Kataifi and pistachio filling, finished with milk chocolate and a drizzle of pistachio cream.” The idea comes from the filled chocolate bars from Dubai that went viral on social media in 2024: milk chocolate wrapped around pistachio cream and toasted kataifi. Crumbl’s version puts that filling on a brownie cookie.

• Brownie cookie base. A rich chocolate cookie rather than a brownie square.
• Kataifi and pistachio filling. Kataifi is shredded phyllo dough; toasted, it turns crisp, which is where the crunch comes from.
• Milk chocolate over the filling.
• Pistachio cream drizzle to finish.

Crumbl customers rate it 4.65 out of 5 across 82,191 ratings on its official profile.

The Dubai cookie is not the Dubai brownie

Crumbl has sold several Dubai-style desserts. These four each have their own official profile and their own nutrition. Check the in-app name before you order; the format changes the calories a lot.

Dubai-Style Chocolate Cookie calories and nutrition

Crumbl lists 990 calories per serving, about 50% of a 2,000-calorie day, with 74 g of sugar and 28 g of saturated fat (140% of the Daily Value), plus 14 g of protein. Calorie counts are per serving and serving size varies by product, so check the app panel for how many servings Crumbl counts in one cookie.

Allergens: pistachios and tree nuts

Crumbl’s profile lists Milk, Pistachios, Soy, Tree Nuts, Wheat, Egg, then, after a semicolon, Sesame Seeds. Crumbl does not explain the split on the profile, so check the full allergen view in the app for what it means at your bakery. Anyone avoiding tree nuts should skip every Dubai-style dessert.

Price

We track a typical U.S. price of $5.99, about $1.00 more than a standard weekly cookie ($4.99). Prices vary by bakery; the price guide has every box size.

When the Dubai cookie was on the menu

Dubai-Style Chocolate Cookie has not appeared in any week of our archive, which runs from June 2026 with a gap between mid-July and early September.

The Dubai-style desserts that did appear in our archive are in the table above. When one returns, it shows on the weekly menu the Monday it starts.

Keeping the crunch

Kataifi softens as it absorbs moisture from the filling and the air, so the crunch is best on the day you buy it. If you keep one longer, a sealed container slows that down; expect a softer, fudgier center by the next day. That is general food-handling advice, not instructions from Crumbl.

Make a Dubai-style chocolate cookie at home

Makes 6 large cookies. This is our home version, not Crumbl’s recipe, so expect it to look and taste close rather than identical.

Steps

1. Toast the kataifi. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the chopped kataifi, and stir constantly for 4 to 5 minutes until golden and crisp. Let it cool.
2. Make the filling. Stir the toasted kataifi into the pistachio cream and melted white chocolate. Shape into 6 balls and freeze 15 minutes so they hold together.
3. Make the dough and stuff it. Cream the butter and sugars, beat in the egg and vanilla, then fold in the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Flatten a portion of dough around each frozen filling ball and seal it.
4. Bake and finish. Bake at 350°F for 11 to 13 minutes and cool completely. Melt the chocolate, spread or drizzle it over the tops, and scatter the chopped pistachios.
