If You Love Crumbl, You NEED to Try These Cookies
These soft, thick sugar cookies taste just like the Crumbl classic. They bake up tall, stay tender inside, and hold a smooth, creamy frosting that sets perfectly. You don’t need fancy tools or long chill times. Just simple steps, a few pantry staples, and half an hour in the kitchen.
Crumbl Cookie
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Frosting
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 –2 tablespoons milk adjust for texture
Instructions
Make the Dough
-
Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry mix to the butter mixture and blend until a soft dough forms.
Shape and Bake
-
Roll the dough into eight large balls. Gently press the tops with your palm to form thick discs. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes. The cookies should look set on the edges but pale in the centre. Let them cool completely on the tray.
Make the Frosting
-
Beat the butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar gradually, then mix in vanilla and milk until smooth and spreadable. Add food colouring if you want the classic Crumbl shade.
Frost and Set
-
Spread a generous swirl of frosting over each cooled cookie. Let them sit for 10–15 minutes so the frosting firms up slightly.
