Copycat Crumbl Cookies

Hannah, here! I have a confession: I'm the real Cookie Monster! I LOVE cookies so much it's kind of obsessive. And I don't discriminate! Whether they're homemade, store-bought, full of nuts or not, I love them all! For breakfast? Sure! In a box with a fox? Absolutely.

Some of my favorite cookies to munch on are from Crumbl. You know, the adorable pink boxes and enormous cookies? They are so delicious but SO dangerous to your budget! So, I've learned how to make them from home, saving me (and now YOU) tons of money!

This is the best copycat Crumbl recipe for their signature sugar cookie. It tastes just like the original, and for a fraction of the cost. A total win win!

These cookies are surprisingly simple to make – I promise, you'll never go back!

Ingredients:

For the sugar cookies:

• 1 cup salted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  1/2 tsp almond extract
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder

Sweet almond icing:

• 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp almond extract (don't skip this one if you're able!)
• 1-3 tbsp milk
• neon pink food coloring, optional

How to make Copycat Crumbl Cookies

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.

In a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter until it's nice and smooth. Add in the granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Finally, slowly mix in the flour and baking powder until a soft dough forms.

The key to making these just like Crumbl, is to make these cookies BIG using a 1/4 cup!

You'll want to scoop the dough with a 1/4 cup and then roll the dough between your hands to make a ball. Then, place onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

To make sure that the cookies spread evenly and cook all the way through, you need to flatten each cookie slightly using the bottom of a flat drinking glass or measuring cup.

Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are just set. The centers will still be soft.

You really don't want to over-bake here, because you want them to be soft just like Crumbl does it!

Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.

While the cookies cool, prepare the icing:

In a bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Stir in the almond extract and just enough milk to reach a spreadable consistency.

Add the pink food coloring for that signature look (optional but fun!). Frost your GIANT homemade Crumbl cookies and then cover, and put in your fridge to chill.

These cookies are best served cold—just like Crumbl does!
