Chocolate cookie crumbs

Chocolate cookie crumbs are small, crumbled pieces of cookies made with cocoa or chocolate, which add a sweet flavor and a crunchy texture to various culinary preparations. This ingredient is commonly used as a topping, filling, or base in desserts such as cheesecakes, pies, ice creams, and milkshakes, providing a pleasant contrast between creaminess and crunchiness.

The origin of chocolate cookie crumbs comes from the practice of reusing crumbled cookies, a common technique in baking to add flavor and texture without the need to bake new doughs. Although chocolate cookies have their roots in countries with a chocolate tradition, such as Belgium or Switzerland, the use of their crumbs as an ingredient is global and very popular in both home and professional recipes.

Properties: Chocolate cookie crumbs primarily provide carbohydrates and fats, as well as a pleasant cocoa aroma. They add a crunchy texture and intense sweet flavor to preparations, enriching the sensory experience of desserts. However, they should be used in moderation in low-sugar or low-fat diets.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: in different regions, chocolate cookie crumbs are also known as trozos de galleta de chocolate, grumos de galleta de chocolate, or simply galletas molidas when referring to crumbled cookies in general.
