The Last Crumb Ooh Baby cookie is the latest offering from the brand crafted with a purplish profile to give it a seasonally appropriate appearance along with a naturally delicious flavor.
The cookie is crafted with fresh ube, which is known for its bright purple hue and thus imparts this into the baked good for a rich, deep color profile. The use of the purple sweet potato in the recipe imparts a sweet, nutty taste and rich hue that's achieved with no food dyes to further elevate the nature of the cookie.
The Last Crumb Ooh Baby cookie is also infused with house-made ube buttercream to impart additional notes of sweetness alongside pure ube extract. The cookie pays homage to the Filipino heritage of one of the co-founders.
