Crumbl Cookies are a rich, GIANT Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe loaded with milk chocolate chips and best served warm.

Crumbl Cookies Copy Cat Recipe

A Crumbl chocolate chip cookie, in my opinion, is THE PERFECT chocolate chip cookie. An enormous cookie studded with big milk chocolate chips. It is thick and crisp on the outside, while still being chewy and perfect on the inside. This copy cat recipe will give you all the chocolate chip goodness of a Crumbl cookie, but at a fraction of the price!

If you have never had a Crumbl cookie, you are missing out. Every week they feature 4 different flavors of cookies (I personally love the coconut lime and lemon poppy seed) but ALWAYS every week they have their best selling, classic chocolate chip cookie and Chilled Sugar. My copy cat recipe will give you that same Crumbl experience in your very own kitchen. Which is a game changer for the budget.

One of the best things about these copy cat cookies is the SIZE! They are absolutely HUGE! We usually cut them in halves or fourths, but no judgement here if you tackle one of these bad boys by yourself. I guarantee you will want to.

Ingredients In Crumbl Copy Cat Cookies

  • Butter- I use salted butter, but if you are using unsalted, just add a few extra pinches of salt to the recipe…because salt makes everything taste better.
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Brown Sugar- The recipe calls for more brown sugar than white because brown sugar is key to taste and texture. It helps create that perfect chewy texture that you want in a cookie!
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla- Read the recipe carefully, that is TABLESPOONS of vanilla, not teaspoons. All that vanilla is really going to help us replicate the Crumbl flavor.
  • Flour- Plain old All Purpose flour will work perfectly.
  • Baking Soda
  • Baking Powder- Using both baking soda and baking powder will help us get a thick chewy cookie. 
  • Salt
  • Chocolate Chips- Crumbl infamously uses the big Guittard milk chocolate chips, they are high quality. They melt well and stay soft in the cookie, but if you can’t find them, or if you have a preferred brand that is okay too. Every now and then Crumbl will do a semi sweet chocolate chip cookie as their cookie of the week.  So it wouldn’t be totally blasphemous to use semi sweet in this recipe if that’s your thing.

How To Make Copy Cat Crumbl Cookies

Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees. I bake this cookie at a slightly higher temperature because we want the insides of these cookies to stay nice a gooey while the outside has that nice golden color. 

With your stand or hand mixer cream together your butter and sugar. Keep mixing until the butter and sugar are smooth, about 2 minutes, then add the eggs and vanilla and mix again. You will want to keep mixing until it is light in color and creamy.

Now add your dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until just combined. You do not want to over mix the flour or you will begin to activate the gluten and give your cookies more of a bread/cake like consistency, and you do not want that! That would spoil what makes this cookie AMAZING!

Fold the chocolate chips in gently and divide into 1/2 cup portions. Roll your cookies into a ball and place 6 on your cookie sheet. You can add a few extra chocolate chips to the top if you want them to look fancy.

Bake for 12-15 minutes. When the cookies start to turn a nice golden brown, remove them from the oven but keep them on the baking sheet for another 20 minutes. This will allow them to continue to cook as they cool. After 20 minutes transfer them to a cooling rack or dig in and enjoy! They will still be warm, don’t worry!

Can I make smaller Crumbl Cookies?

I warned you earlier that these cookies are huge, that is part of why they feel so special and indulgent. This recipe makes 12 BIG cookies, but if you prefer you can make them smaller. Just reduce the bake time. You can also easily half the recipe if desired.

Cookie Storage Recommendations

the cookies will store great in an airtight bag or container for 3 days. 

And that’s it! All the decadent indulgence of a Crumbl cookie but for a fraction of the cost, and in your own kitchen, where the cold milk is always close by.

    So I’ve never had or heard of Crumbl Cookies, but your photo enticed me to give this recipe a go. So happy I did, it’s truly delicious and they were devoured and enjoyed by household of 4 (including two college kids). This will now be put into our family rotation and baked frequently I imagine. After I saw the first batch basically disappear, I whipped up a second batch. I scooped them and froze the balls to bake up at a later date, I always like to keep cookie balls in the freezer for a quick bake-up. Thank you for the recipe. xx

    These were so delicious!!! I made them for my family and now this is our new favorite recipe! (They like these better than Crumbl ๐Ÿ˜‚) Definitely use the Guittard chocolate chips. Sooo good! (Weโ€™ve even added walnuts and tried it with the semisweet chocolate chips and they were yummy as well!)
    Thank you!

      Hi there- This makes MASSIVE batch of cookie dough as it is. I wouldn’t suggest doubling the recipe just because unless you have a large commercial mixer, there will be too much dough for a regular stand mixer to handle.

    These were super easy to make and tasted great! I just had trouble with them spreading. Is there a way I can keep them from spreading so much next time?

      You could add 1/4 cup more flour next time and they won’t spread as much for you!

    Oh boy! Just made these a couple days ago. Iโ€™m a chocolate chip cookie connoisseur since my husband loves them so much. My used to be go to cookie recipe was replaced by this one when hubby said these are better. These are THE BEST chocolate chip cookies Iโ€™ve ever eaten. Crumbl Cookie moves into our neighborhood this week but all I want are these cookies. Thanks for the recipe!!

    Has anyone ever tried them with the regular chocolate chips? I’ve looked at every store in my town and noone sells guittard ๐Ÿ™ If I do use the regular size, do I need to put less/more?

      You’ll use the same amount of chocolate chips! Just use your favorite and you’ll love the cookie. ๐Ÿ™‚

    My daughter loves the chocolate with chocolate icing from Crumbl. Iโ€™m wondering if perhaps I should just add some cocoa powder to the dough. Iโ€™m thinking Iโ€™ll still add some chocolate chips too. For the icing Iโ€™m going to make my favorite chocolate icing that I use on Boston cream pie. Not sure if you will see this in time to weigh in on how much cocoa powder I should add or whatever before I attempt them tomorrow but worth a shot ๐Ÿ˜›

      Oh, those sound amazing! I would replace some of the flour with cocoa powder. I would do a total of 3 1/4 cups flour and 1 cup of cocoa powder. ๐Ÿ™‚

    These cookies are absolutely amazing!!! I used 1/4 cu of dough per cookie and baked at 375 for 10 minutes. I then let them sit on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before removing. They are golden brown, chewy, and soft inside. They are perfect and my family absolutely loves them!!

    This recipe has been a game changer at my house! We used to be frequent visitors to Crumbl and … not so much now! I make a double batch and make half ridiculously big like Crumbl, and the others a smaller bite size. Love the flavor and everything about them. Note: My oven may run hot, but I do have to take a minute off the cook time.
