Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! Have a lovely, wonderful, fantastic day!
Hi guys! I did something silly again! I bought the infamous $140 Last Crumb cookies to see if they are worth the price! So lets hangout and eat some cookies and see if they are worth the crazy price tag?! Let me know which cookie you would like to try! Love ya💖
Ok but what exactly is a great texture? Super soft? Does it have a bite? More detail please 🙏
Loving all of the new content. Love chewy gooey over crisp any day. Have to admit banana cream pie in a cookie did not sound appealing. I love it as pie, but cookie? You've convinced me. Drink some hot tea to cleanse your palate.
Why no link to the 🍪 site in the description box?
There's a new cookie place by me, crumbl cookies, has 6 different flavors each week and they're just as big as those $12, but only $4, be great if there was one near you so you could test to see if the cheaper fancy cookies are just as good.
I may need to drop some $$ on some cookies 😋😋
I have NEVER seen her describe ANY makeup or skincare or any other things she's unboxed on this channel with the same amount of passion and description and almost poetic fashion of speech, as she has described these cookies.! It's been a ride this video 😋
A great ride, tho.💃
😂😂😂😂😂
it's a sign that everyone who's been recommending to try sweets subscription boxes has been right all along XD
Sure has!!! This company owes our girl some free cookies because I'm ready to buy some lol
Really good cookies will do that
“ guess who’s having salad tonight, not me because I don’t know balance” Totally snorted into my coffee and it went everywhere. Comment of the day for me😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a baker who feels guilty about selling a dozen cookies for $12 this is insane to me. And I mean I bake amazing cookies.
If your cookies are AMAZING! Don’t feel bad about charging more! You put your time, dedication and love! I would pay $15 to $20 for excellence dozen of cookies BUT NOT $140
Time to start charging more it seems
Do you have a website? Lol, I’m always in the hunt for good cookies! No way I’d pay $140 for those undercooked (imo) cookies.
Make sure that you are charging appropriately: cost+labor, THEN you add on a profit margin. Your own wage doesn't count as profit! (This was shocking to me when I learned this) ❤️
Agreed… insane lol they’re just cookies 😂
My personal choice for fancy cookies you can get through the mail is Levain, which aren’t nearly this expensive. Plus they ship all of the time AND the customer service is so nice. The first time I ordered them, they actually reached out to make sure that they had the right address for me because their system said it was giving them warning signs.
I have ALWAYS wanted to try a Levain cookie and I didn't even think about trying to order them! Im so glad you mentioned them and the customer service is so great!
@@Alexandria-Ryan I was feeling blue because of the pandemic and randomly googled them, thinking I could do a dupe recipe and found out that they ship across the US. The peanut butter and chocolate cookies were my favorite.
We shall look forward to that unboxing soon then....😄😄😄
Oh, I think I am going to have to give this a try 😊
@@rosebudsummers thank you for sharing that info!
I don’t mind splurging occasionally, $140 for 12 cookies makes me very happy you tried them and I’m not tempted. Got to give them an A+ on Presentation.
Haha! The presentation is very nice!
Agree. That is a very nice box and the individual envelopes? Chef's kiss 😙 muah! (have to admit that my keyboard prediction gave my embryo for envelopes⁉️)
They remind me a lot of Crumbl which is about as expensive as I will go.
Never heard of this brand but can't wait for fancy bakers to realize not everyone wants chunky salt on top of their baked goods 🙃
Thank you! Eww!
Thank you 👏
Red velvet cake originally was made with a specific kind of cocoa powder that would turn red after the addition of vinegar was added to the batter…the chemical reaction of the two would turn it red. Now it’s usually just food colouring.
yeah i work at a bakery and we just do the same chocolate just with red food dye
And the red dye in most foods is made of crushed bugs, so that's fun
@@RandomFandomDragon ours is a vegan alternative! we offer a vegan option for almost all our flavors so it’s a vegan food coloring
It's really hard to get that original cocoa powder now too, I remember trying when I first heard about Red Velvet Cake. It just wasn't available anywhere in the UK or Europe! 🤓
I used a recipe with beets to give it that red color, to not use any food colouring, you can't taste the beets and makes the cake very moist ☺️ is a good vegan alternative too.
Ya know for 12$ a cookie you'd expect them to be more intricate looking. I once got a pumpkin pie cookie that looked like a pumpkin pie. Just saying the bar for aesthetic should be higher.
There's a store called "The Cookie Bar" in my town. The cookies are similar in size to the Last Crumb cookies, but they cost $5. They also make extremely similar flavours of cookie
I feel like a fancy coffee shop here in Vancouver might charge $12 for one of those. Additionally, those cookies come with: Deadlines for the business (weekly shipments) An alert system and controlled e-commerce store Individual packaging Quirky copy on the packaging Branded display box Branded shipping box Fancy brochure So I'd say a ton of the $140 was not for cookies 😂
Definitely not worth 140, but kudos to them for their incredible profit margin😂
Thank you for *not* being one of those KZheadrs who crunches and chews directly into the microphone. My misophonia loves you for it ❤️
Same! I was worried. 🖤
Question: does ASMR actually BOTHER y'all, instead of helping? I'm starting to think I have misophonia, too.
@@savannah115 Eating ASMR especially , it makes me cringe and uncomfortable.
@@savannah115 Yes. It makes me want to break things.
@@savannah115 Yes! It makes me want to climb out of my own skin and throttle someone! I figured it was because I’m neurodivergent, guess not. Lol
This is like a Cookie Advent Calendar!
It is!!
@@Alexandria-Ryan silly me! My face is red!
Oh no! Its not a real advent calendar, I was a just agreeing with you that it is like one! haha Im sorry I didn't make that clear so silly me!
@@Alexandria-Ryan we're good! I thought I missed something! I love your channel! You're an Absolute Doll!!
I just love everything about this conversation!
They all look like solid $5 cookies. Delicious, but the price is justified by the scarcity 😂
My thoughts exactly
Ppl don't understand why I will pay $4 for a cookie from Crumbl... until they see the size and taste one. That's what these remind me off.
Ok idk if it’s because I’m exhausted but “the price is justified by the scarcity” is SUCH an amazing sentence?? Like that sounds like it came right out of a dystopian novel 😂
@@carter4959 😂 ty
My mom owned a bakery. She would have charged you $3 each and felt like that was too much.
Alexandria, YOU are a 12 dollar cookie. Makes my day every time you post
Agreed! I'd go so far to say she is a $140 box of 12 cookies!
Being from a country where you couldn't get a $12 cookie if you tried, this is fascinating to me. These would be great for impressing friends at a birthday party. You bring some really unexpected content sometimes and it helps paint a picture of the corners of the internet that you wouldn't normally get. Keep it up!
I think you're spot on about getting a group of friends together for these cookies. The cookies are so massive and so sweet that it makes sense to cut them into pieces anyway, and it would be a fun thing to try with a few different friends (and cheaper). For that much money, though, I could probably trial-and-error my way into similar recipes for a fraction of the cost.
if a cookie is $12 they're either vastly overpriced or you're at Disney World. Either way you're getting scammed
Gideon's cookies look so good though at Disney World. They are $6 but are almost 1/2 a pound. I'm tentatively planning my first ever Disney trip and they are definitely on my foods to try list.
@@samantha6564 Definitely try to stop by Gideon’s, it did not disappoint!!!
To paraphrase Pulp Fiction: That's a 12 dollar cookie? You don't put bourbon in it or nothing?
@@samantha6564 It’s worth it! You’re not only getting cookies, you’re getting a whole experience at Gideon’s!
But Gideon's doesn't ship these guys do
Those cookies look delicious 😍, BUT I couldn't do $140 for them. You have inspired me to go try and bake a banana cookie 😂.
Would you ever do like a dog toy/food subscription/mystery box 📦 for ren?
i love your channel sooo much cause you dont mind acting like urself and u actually call companies out , thank you!
Aww im so glad you like the channel!
Watching Alexandra to feel better about my bad judgment with my finances and also be entertained
That packaging is definitely a good portion of the 11+ dollars per cookie. That's some fancy stuff!
I'm so excited for mixing up the content :)
Im so glad!!
Those look yummy, but I can make a whole batch of white chocolate macadamia cookies for less than twelve dollars! After watching you try all these, I think I need to go bake some for my family. 😊
Alexandria- “ope, that was a lot of crumbs… ope, s’more” Me- “she made two puns and didn’t even realize probably. Cuz of her southern accent coming out, it sounded like s’more, and the box is Last Crumb. Very clever unintentionally, and I love it”
If you mix Rumchatta with fireball alcohol you have a cocktail that tastes just like cinnamon toast crunch! It's delicious.
imagine if the cookie box just had stickers of the cookies or mini versions yk pull a chanel on u
Haha the company is actually secretly owned by Chanel
I see Alexandria shared my love of raw cookie dough! “The sound of moisture.” From Simon and Garfunkel’s lost album. Incredible, amazing, I love it.
Can we get more food boxes please? Would love your reviews on them honestly.
Great unboxing! Love when you go outside your comfort zone and it’s a success. I’d watch you unbox anything because you make it so fun ❤️
Here’s my question: why all the flippin white chocolate? Like every single cookie has white chocolate? I personally despise, loathe, ABHOR white chocolate so I can’t imagine paying $1.40 for these let alone 10x that. Also what if you’re allergic to peanuts/tree nuts and just wanted like the lemon or red velvet ones? This business model seems so bizarre and anti-consumer.
If you don't like that then go to a bakery that specifically caters to anti gluten, nut free, vegan and or kosher ya know my point is their is a bakery for everyone. So personally it's not anti consumer it's smart because it caters to a certain clientele because me you would never find me buying smart chewy cookies because it's disgusting taste like eating a unfinshed cookie that didn't finish cooking all the way. You wouldn't catch me eating nut free, gluten free and or vegan because it's all gross🌜🤷🌛 I best prefer going to normal bakeries that cater to the average consumer who don't have any issues and or are vegan.. -Mercy(sorry for the name confusion i am on my dad's phone at the moment)
@@richiethev4623 Sounds like you have some personal issues that you just aired out for all to see. Take a breath, calm down. Life will be okay even though vegan foods exist.
Also don’t love white chocolate. It ain’t chocolate.
@@WildHeart7777 Agree. White chocolate is an oxymoron.
@@WildHeart7777 true. I still like it, but it’s definitely not chocolate lol
I would pay $40 for the box to have some fun with the kids, but $140 is out of my range.
Alexandria could open a bag of potatoes and rate each and every one, and I would still watch with enthusiasm.
She’d open it upside down and then edit in a portion wondering how she didn’t notice I’d still watch every second lol
Omg. They all looked so good. Loved all the names and the little blurbs on the back of the bags
One reason red velvet is different from regular chocolate because it has vinegar! So technically yes you could make red velvet mayonnaise lol :)
I always love to see when you’re on! Wow, them are some mighty expensive cookies, I couldn’t do it! Hugs!🥰
You’re killing me smalls!!! These look so good that my mouth is watering!
I love that you finally did a food unboxing...this was fun!
Alexandria + Sweet Desserts = MORE PLEASE!! 💕💖
I cannot describe the JEALOUSY I felt watching you devour those delicious cookies!! 🍪🍪🍪😍😍
OMG, thank you for buying and tasting this for us!
I want more videos like this! I had no idea food boxes like this existed. This is the best combo of the advent calendar/unboxing videos I love from you plus FOOD yaaasss.
Me: Damn, Crumbl sure charges a lot for their cookies. Last Crumb: Hold my dough
Girl yes 🤣🤣
"Going with them through you guys" LOL! I do that kind of thing ALL the time. In fact, I once sang "time like a free wind so slipply quicks away" during a church solo and my friends were in the audience trying so hard not to laugh at me while I had to keep going. 😀 I think included in the price tag of this box is the removal of FOMO. So you get 12 cookies and the knowledge that you got something other people couldn't get. Quite a marketing ploy! Also, can't wait for the Super Scary Subscription Closet!!
Omg your comment killed me🤣👏I say things backwards all the time
This was so fun! I loved it
I LOVE your taste testing videos!!! Keep em coming!!
I could see 8 to 9 dollars a cookie. I also don't understand or like the sea salt on baked good trend. I think part of the price is the packaging and funny quotes.
It's really not a trend. It's a classic french pastry chef trick to balance richness--usually utilized for rich chocolate or caramel desserts. I wouldn't do it on a chocolate chip cookie, but it is essential on my caramel chocolate tart & flourless chocolate cake to keep them from being too sickeningly sweet.
a tiny bit of salt makes any baked food (and most foods) better, but they often try to make it too much of a flavour imo.
Despite how delicious these looked I personally would never pay this price. Maybe I can talk a rich friend into it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now you know the hype and so do we! Thanks for taking the plunge.
This was fun! Thanks!🤗💕
Please do more food reviews! This video is gold! 😂
Me, pregnant and craving nothing but my mom’s top secret chocolate chip cookies: Ah yes. Let me watch 26 minutes of Alexandria eating giant delicious cookies 💀😂
Totally curious what makes your mums cookies top secret 👁👄👁
@@sarahanne4772 she had a cookie business for a little while and spent a very long time tweaking her recipes to be EXACTLY how she wanted them. She is the ONLY person with the recipes, she’s never shared it with any of her friends or family or anyone 🥲
@@lindseylee3968 damn they must be amazing
My favorite cookie! The classic chocolate chip. So many don’t do it Justice though.
Love that you are branching out! Keep them coming! :)
I'm here for any food box openings!!!!! I really enjoyed this one
Would love to see you try other things this was fun!
I totally saw the Clifford the big red dog in that cookie. They missed a good marketing opportunity. Love that you are branching out beyond makeup!
I can’t get over your dog just chilling in the back! Especially with the ears standing up 🥺🥰🥺🥰 SO CUTE
Loving food reviews on this channel!!
I made the mistake of looking up Levain...now I want cookies. So....one half of me is jealous of this video. The other half of me feels like I'd throw up, lol! But just fyi, Red Velvet isn't supposed to be that chocolatey...it's supposed to be a hint of chocolate and vanilla. Over time, that has changed of course...but I actually love the subtle version more.
I followed a Levain dupe recipe and they came out -amazing-. And at a fraction of the cost. 😋 Definitely worth a try!
This was fun! I like watching your videos for your personality, so if you enjoyed this type of thing and wanted to do more, I would watch! The downside is that now I really want cookies lol.
Yes, this was fun! Definitely include some food videos.
Yay I love this type of video thank you for making it. 😃
That’s insanely pricey for cookies, even good ones! I admit to ordering amazingly good hand-churned ice cream directly from Graeter’s, since I’m an ice cream addict, but even that was only $80 for 6 pints, your choice of flavors, last time I ordered. And they ship in dry ice!
Grater’s Ice Cream it the best ever! I used to live in Florida (born in ky) so I on occasion would have it shipped as well. The creaminess left on your palette confirms it’s richness lol. 💗 🍨
One of your most interesting Unboxing. You should have had Milk with the cookies. 💖 But I have to say Cheryls cookies is my fave when I want to splurge on buying cookies. 🍪🥛
This was a great vlog really fun!!
Omg! This was great! I was getting worried that you would get sick!
For $12, that cookie needs to fill my belly with yummy yummy goodness, cure my insomnia, and do my taxes. Having said that, the lemon bar could have a free ride because I love lemon everything. I have to admit that in the back of my mind, I kept thinking, but what about what's left?
@@CM1984 Of course! Everyone knows that all of the best tax people are made up of lots of delicious ingredients 🍪. Otherwise, how would they survive more than one tax season⁉️😁😜
You had me at “cure my insomnia “, I felt that deeply. 😂
@@Christina-jj6lc I've begun to recognize way too many user names of other people who watch videos in the middle of the night. Joking aside, it's made me feel better to see that I'm not some kind of aberration when I see just how many people suffer from insomnia 🙄. I had no idea. My people 🧟♀️🧟♂️! At last I've found them 😜 I guess it's that weird phenomenon in which people find solace in shared misery, can't recall the name of it, though 🤔😏
Red velvet cake is made with buttermilk for a slightly sour bite and does have some cocoa powder but the main flavor is really an ambiguous flavor.
I love the variety lately 😍
Yes to all and any videos!!
I think for an artisan individual cookie my hard limit would probably be $6, and it would have to be hefty. But I cant see myself splurging $140 for 12 cookies. Including nuts is really rubbing me the wrong way, because it’s literally excluding folks with the most common food allergies. Also this box seems more aimed to be gifted , like other gift basket companies.
It *was* gifted. It was a gift she got for herself. Like, wth?
People with nut allergies can freaking buy other cookies, you virtue signaling nutcase. The 99.9 percent of humans that DON'T have nut allergies might actually want to enjoy a cookie with nuts in it.
@@thamieklybodonmi I think what the OP is meaning is that since there's no option to choose, you're eliminating anyone who has any sort of allergy from buying your product. If they allowed you to pick a box of a dozen from a menu, that would be ideal for people with allergies, You don't have to be so fucking aggressive over $140 cookies, man, relax. Do you work for this company or something?
@@Amsayy no, she clearly stated that she's rubbed wrongly because people are excluded. not because the extremely rare people with true nut allergies can't choose. people can always choose not to buy or talk with customer service before. and if both you and the op are so entitled that this option doesn't even crosses your minds I have every right to be irritated. can't eat a Waldorf salad in a restaurant without some busy body whining about the nut allergies they never encounter. and God forbid you want some peanuts with your beer in a bar... can't have living, blooming flowers in an office space since some Karen saw people sneezing on FB because pollen and shit. can't use perfume in shower rooms because some idiot doesn't stand perfumes and pretended to choke just thinking about it. and the list of needless restriction will just increase if nobody tells these manipulative weaklings to get a life. mind your own damn businesses and let people that never asked your help to sort things out for themselves.
@@thamieklybodonmi the fact you say mind your on business while spewing your opinion on the internet unprompted is peak irony. Also. Nut allergies are much more common than .1%, and it’s totally fair to say “hey, it kinda sucks that I’d love to try your cookies but there’s no nut free option” since their whole business is people buying their food. The original comment never said to shut the place down, just that it bothers them that people with food allergies weren’t considered by this company selling food. Which is totally valid. Get over yourself, why do people having serious reactions bother you so much? Bring your own peanuts to the bar. Buy whatever you want. But stop shitting on people for the choices their immune systems make (because allergies are involuntary reactions of the immune system overreacting to non threatening substances, like nuts or pollen)
I enjoyed this unboxing, taste test, what ever you want to call it, your descriptions made it so I was tasting the cookie also.
Watching you eat sweets make me laugh, the sugar rush is hilarious! 😂😂 I have had cookies and candy taken away with from me at work before ~~ apparently IT and Customer Support are not helpful speaking southern a mile a minute! Thanks for the laugh and information! 😂💕
I know you aren’t a cooking channel BUT I’d absolutely love to see you pick a couple of these cookies and try to make them yourself? That would be so so fun to watch!
Thanks for this review! You are great with doing a food related video.
The way you describe the cookies was perfect, I could almost taste them myself and my mouth was watering🤪I also enjoy a doughy cookie and the middle is my favorite part of anything bcuz it’s the softest ❤️The way you talked about the hump on the banana bread I knew exactly what part bcuz it also is my fav
Red velvet is just a mild cocoa sponge cake with buttermilk, vinegar and red coloring so that's why it tastes different than chocolate cake for that is thicker and heavier in cocoa. Plus the red velvet has it's cream cheese icing that really helps change the flavor, that's why I don't really agree with people who say it's just chocolate cake dyed red.
Hmmm.... I've never used a red velvet recipe that included vinegar 🤷♀️ Red velvet does have a different consistency/texture, I always attributed it to the buttermilk. For me it's all about the cream cheese frosting, a must...if it doesnt have cream cheese frosting, it's not red velvet 🤣
Never thought I'd watch a video about bespoke cookies. Honestly this was a genius idea - the scarcity being the driver for the price. Seems to me they've dumped too much $ into packaging. For $12 each I'd expect some exotic flavors. 🤷♀️
Love this kind of food unboxing! So fun.
They all look so amazing
This was fun! I remember in college we'd by a few dozen of insomnia cookies and do taste tests like this after night's out.
What's an insomnia cookie?
@@poietes7337 it's a store (restaurant?) That sells and delivery cookies pretty much anytime of night. It was a popular thing back in the days before Doordash! You go out to the clubs then order pizza & cookies at 3am, lol. I don't know if they are still around tbh! I graduated college in 2008
@@Lisa85 There’s on in my college town a few minutes walk from my house!
@@Lisa85 that sounds wonderful.
Oooooo this just unearthed some amazing memories from simpler times 😩 I loved insomnia cookies in college!
So I actually own and run a cookie small business. But they’re all 100% custom decorated. $140 would be 4 dozen cookies 😅 That’s about 14 hours of work for me. This is insane…
What’s the name of your business and do you ship (this video has really made me want cookies)
I love the random Funyun muching in the middle of cookie reviews
I drooled with every flipping cookie! Now...I am baking cookies! Thank you! :)
They look great but v.expensive. I wonder if they may have been even better if you had warmed them a little - I think warm cookies taste so much better.
You make my day whenever I see your videos pop up... Thank you!!! Ps I love ren
Aww thats so sweet of you! He says Hi!!
That was a fun video. Thoroughly enjoyed this one, as I have your advent calendar unboxings.
Yes. I would like more videos like this!!!!
Well now I love me some good cookies but I've never seen any cookies I'd even think about paying that much for. And for that price the fact that you have no customization at all is insane to me 😳
Omg, ikr😳🥴not being able to even choose what u like... I couldn't do it myself lol
@@figgynewton3138 I know. That's just crazy for that price i should be able to pick every ingredient lol
I'm half convinced that the only reason these exist is for like rich people/companies to gift out. So adding customization would make the gift more work to the buyer.
@@StephanieSmith-rh9yg yea I could see it that way. Just still hard for my cheapskate self to imagine anyone paying that much for cookies lol.
Thanks for the amusing video. I'm fighting the plague off, and it's my birthday tomorrow... So it's a bit of a downer few days. But seeing your funny review made me 😂 smile and laugh for a bit. Thanks!
Happy birthday to you ❤️
More boxes like this!! I totally want this now. This looked DELICIOUS.
You are SO much fun!!! Wow that is a lot of $$$ for cookies! Fun box though! Thanks for sharing!!!
Crumble cookies are like $4 and are big with lots of different flavors. $140 is outrageous.
Even more… I got Crumbl last week and it was $22 for 4
I only paid 13 for 4 cookies at Crumbl..
An’t believe she didn’t microwave each cookie for 15 seconds (or warm in the oven) as the directions suggest. It makes a HUGE difference when you warm them up. The inside of each cookie gets so soft & creamy and so luxurious when you warm them up first!! Just received a box and they are AMAZING!!!
Nah, a good cookie you can eat cold straight out of the fridge and it'll still be amazing, these look mid at best and definitely overpriced.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Love ya
Im glad I got to watch someone buy the cookies and eat them. They look delicious!
Thank you for showing us these decadent cookies. You just saved me 2 million calories , 5 K points, and $140 . I heard there is a waiting list to even purchase these cookies. I wanted to ask which one was your “ favorite “ cookie?
Just an FYI, Aldi's has a Funyon dupe that is spot on.
