The Secret to Crumbl-Style Cookies
Crumbl Cookies are famous for their soft, thick texture and unique flavors. To achieve the same bakery-quality results at home, follow these key tips:
- Chill the dough: This ensures the cookies stay thick and don’t spread too much.
- Use cake flour: It creates a softer, chewier texture compared to all-purpose flour.
- Bake at a lower temperature: This keeps the centers gooey while the edges crisp up slightly.
- Go big: Roll the dough into large balls for that iconic oversized Crumbl look.
With these pro tips, you’ll have cookies that rival the real deal—right from your own kitchen!
Flavor Variations to Try
One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to customize. Here are some delicious flavor ideas to get you started:
- Chilled Sugar Cookie: Skip the chocolate chips and top with vanilla buttercream frosting.
- Funfetti Birthday Cake: Add ½ cup white chocolate chips and ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles.
- Peanut Butter Crumbl: Replace ½ cup butter with peanut butter and mix in peanut butter chips.
- Cookies & Cream: Stir in ½ cup crushed Oreos and top with vanilla frosting.
The possibilities are endless—get creative and make your own signature flavor!
FAQs About Crumbl Cookies
Here are answers to some common questions to help you perfect your cookies:
Why aren’t my cookies spreading?
Make sure your butter is cold but not frozen. If the dough is too cold, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before baking.
How do I get that gooey center?
Take the cookies out of the oven just before they look fully baked. They’ll continue to set as they cool.
Can I freeze Crumbl cookies?
Absolutely! Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months, or freeze the dough balls and bake them fresh whenever you need a cookie fix.
Copycat Crumbl Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold butter cut into cubes
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cake flour or replace with ½ cup all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, beat cold butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in eggs and vanilla extract, beating just until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix it into the butter mixture.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for even better flavor).
- Roll the dough into large balls, about ¼ cup per cookie, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the dough—this keeps the cookies soft and thick.
- For an extra gooey center, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-14 minutes instead of 375°F.
- Use high-quality vanilla extract for the best flavor.
