Crumb Cake Cookies
This cookie right here is the best part of a crumb cake in a cookie shape…the topping! You will not be disappointed. So, grab some coffee and get baking. I like to add extra crumbs on mine. These get dusted with powdered sugar on top just like if you were making a crumb cake. These crumb cake cookies will disappear quickly if served at a brunch or bake sale.

I’ve made these in the past and will be making them again in the next couple of days for Christmas. They are awesome and everybody loves, loves, loves them! My question is will they stay fresh for 3-5 days in an air-tight container at room temperature? I don’t want to make them too soon. Thank you.

5 sounds too long but 3 should be ok! I would prefer 2! Enjoy them!!!
