Is this the real Crumbl recipe?
No. These are homemade copycat recipes built to approximate the texture and flavor, not Crumbl's actual bakery formulas.
Why does the copycat chocolate chip recipe use cornstarch?
Cornstarch softens the crumb and helps a home oven get closer to Crumbl's thick, slightly underbaked-center texture.
