cookie crumbs
Snack trail evidence
Cookie crumbs are the small fragments that break off from cookies—the bits left at the bottom of the bag or scattered on a plate.
They're often swept up or discarded, though some recipes call for them: She made a pie crust from cookie crumbs.
The phrase can describe anything reduced to fragments: The deal fell apart, leaving nothing but cookie crumbs.
