There’s a new dessert trend sweeping Australia, and no — it’s not cronuts or brownies. It’s chunky cookies.

Think thick, soft, gooey-centred cookies loaded with chocolate chunks, oozing fillings, and surprise textures in every bite. More than a snack, these loaded cookies are full-on experiences — and they’re making waves across Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, and beyond.

So what’s the deal with chunky cookies? Here’s why everyone’s ditching the thin and crispy in favour of the fat and fluffy.

1. They're Not Just Cookies — They're Desserts

A classic cookie might be a light snack, but chunky cookies are dessert-worthy. From molten Nutella centres to Biscoff cores and crushed Oreos, they deliver layers of flavour that feel indulgent and satisfying.

Perfect with a coffee, even better warmed up with ice cream. These aren’t grab-and-go. These are sit-down-and-savour.

2. Stuffed, Loaded, and Fully Extra

Today’s cookie lovers aren’t just looking for chocolate chips. They want drama. Texture. Goo. That’s where stuffed cookies shine.

At Crumbaroo, we take our chunky base and fill it with:

Nutella
Biscoff spread
Peanut butter
Crushed Oreos and chocolate pieces

Each one is handmade, generously portioned, and baked fresh to order.

3. Social Media Made Me Do It

From TikTok to Instagram, chunky loaded cookies are having a viral moment. Videos of people breaking them open to reveal melted fillings rack up millions of views.

We get tagged daily by customers sharing their #CrumbarooCrack moment — that first gooey break. Chunky cookies aren’t just a treat; they’re content.

4. Perfect for Gifting (Or Hoarding for Yourself)

A box of chunky cookies feels like a gift you’d actually want to get. Whether it’s a birthday, thank-you, or “just because,” people love receiving something unique and indulgent.

Our Crumb Box and 1KG Birthday Cookie are especially popular for:

Surprise deliveries
Team shout-outs
Celebrating breakups or big wins
Replacing the boring hamper

5. They Feel Handmade (Because They Are)

Unlike mass-produced supermarket cookies, our loaded cookies are handmade in small batches with premium ingredients — think real butter, couverture chocolate, and zero shortcuts.

When people search for a bakery near me or cookies near me, they’re really looking for that homemade touch. Crumbaroo brings it, with the bonus of Australia-wide delivery.
