Thank you to Crumbl Cookies🍪 of Woodhaven for sending over this scrumptious box of cookies to help the staff get through this hot and rainy Tuesday.

This week's cookie line-up is definitely giving beach vibes with the Blue Monster Chips Ahoy, Carmelita, Molten Lava🌋, & Lemon🍋 Cake🍰.

Which one would you choose?

If you'd like to bring the beach vibes home, stop by Crumbl Cookies at 23398 Allen Rd, Woodhaven, Michigan 48183 and scoop up a box for yourself.

If you'd like to try baking your own cookies at home, try our Craft & Hobby database for FREE with your Allen Park Library Card.
