Crumble Sugar Cookie Ingredients

• Unsalted Butter: Softened butter gives cookies a rich, buttery flavor.
• Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness and helps create that perfect soft texture.
• Egg: Binds ingredients together and adds moisture to the dough.
• Vanilla Extract: Brings out the classic sugar cookie flavor.
• Almond Extract: Signature hint of almond just like Crumbl’s version.
• All-Purpose Flour: The base for soft, chewy cookie perfection.
• Baking Powder: Helps the cookies rise and stay fluffy.
• Salt: Balances sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
• Powdered Sugar: Creates the smooth, creamy frosting on top.
• Heavy Cream: Adds richness and helps achieve the right frosting texture.
• Pink Gel Food Coloring: Gives the frosting its signature Crumbl pink hue.

How To Make Crumbl Sugar Cookies

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Step 2: In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy — about 2–3 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl.

Step 3: Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until fully combined and smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, blending just until the dough forms.

Step 5: Scoop dough balls (about 3 tablespoons each) and place them on the baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your palm or the back of a measuring cup.

Step 6: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft. Do not overbake — they’ll firm up as they cool. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Step 8: In a mixing bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with a little more cream if needed. Spread a generous layer of pink frosting on each cooled cookie. Let the frosting set slightly before serving.

Easy Copycat Crumbl Sugar Cookie Recipe Tips

• Use room temperature butter – Soft, not melted. This helps create that classic thick and tender Crumbl-style texture.
• Don’t overmix the dough – Once you add the dry ingredients, mix just until combined to keep the cookies soft and buttery.
• Slightly underbake – The cookies should look set around the edges but still pale in the center. They’ll finish cooking as they cool.
• Cool completely before frosting – If the cookies are even slightly warm, the frosting will melt right off.
• Add a touch of almond extract – That subtle almond note is key to getting that authentic Crumbl sugar cookie flavor.
• For perfect frosting texture – Beat it until fluffy, and add cream a teaspoon at a time to get it silky smooth.
• Chill for bakery-style thickness – If you want extra thick cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
• Customize the frosting color – Use pink for classic Crumbl vibes, or mix it up for holidays and parties.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

• Storing Instructions: Store your cooled Crumbl sugar cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Keep the frosting separate if you want to maintain the perfect texture.
• Freezing Instructions: Place unfrosted cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1–2 hours, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Frosted cookies can be frozen, but wrap them individually to prevent the frosting from sticking or cracking.
• Reheating Instructions: To enjoy cookies warm, pop them in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or in a preheated 300°F oven for 3–5 minutes. Avoid overheating to prevent the cookies from drying out or the frosting from melting too much.
