Crumbl Cookies are a rich, GIANT Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe loaded with milk chocolate chips and best served warm.
Crumbl Copycat Chocolate Chip Cookie
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!
What are Crumbl Cookies?
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 Chocolate Oreo and Raspberry Cheesecake Cookie) 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. Keep tabs with all of my Crumbl Copycat Recipes!
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 Chocolate Chip 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 Extract– 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 Chocolate Chip Cookies from Crumbl
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.

You’ll use the same amount of chocolate chips! Just use your favorite and you’ll love the cookie. 🙂
Karli Bitner says
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe!! Thanks for that awesome review, Sarah!!
Karli Bitner says
You could add 1/4 cup more flour next time and they won’t spread as much for you!
J.c. says
Easy recipe to follow, turned out perfect. After mixing the dough, I chilled it for two hours before baking.
CrumblFan says
This looks great! Can you do a copy cat of the waffle cookie??
Karli Bitner says
I’ll put that on my list! 🙂

My daughter loves the chocolate with chocolate icing from Crumbl. I’m wondering if perhaps I should just add some cocoa powder to the dough. I’m thinking I’ll still add some chocolate chips too. For the icing I’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 😛
Karli Bitner says
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. 🙂
Brandee says
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!!
Jenika says
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.
Joe says
I’d like to request you add the red velvet , and cornbread Crumbl cookie recipes to your list as well…….
Sarah says
I second the Waffle cookie copy cat request! That and the new cornbread cookies are our FAVORITE!! so yummy, I’d love to be able to make them at home. Thank you for the recipe!
Karli Bitner says
Putting those both on my list! 🙂
Karli Bitner says
Consider it done! 😉
Karli Bitner says
I’m glad this has been a good substitute for you!! 🙂 I make bite sized ones, too. 🙂
Chloe says
This recipe was incredible and I tried 3 copycat recipes. I will say it wasn’t quite as crumbly as crumble cookies but I think I liked it more. I did one batch with muscavado sugar and all purpose flourand one with brown sugar and half cake flour half all purpose. I would highly recommend the muscavado sugar. It was delicious
Karli Bitner says
I am so glad that you enjoyed this recipe and deserved 5 stars in your book! I’ll have to give that sugar a try!
A M says
How can I turn this into a red velvet cookie? How much cocoa powder do I add? But I wanna keep them
Big like this
Maggie Sims says
Karli, These turned out fab.u.lous!!! OH. MY. GOODNESS!!
I like a cookie with bread flour – sort of the same consistency with the corn starch – more puff. Sooooo I first 1.5 X the recipe – I like to freeze dough for later, long story – 40 years of marriage to a cookie nut!! Also, I wouldn’t double – yup too much flour etc. for the mixer.
Then, I used 2 cups of bread flour AND 2 cups of whole wheat flour – another story and finally the remainder All Purpose flour. Followed the rest of the ingredients and these were outstanding.
Hubby even gave some away to drop-in neighbors (he rarely shares his cookies so that was touching) – he was so proud of these new cookies!! 2 oz dough ball (I use a scale every time I cook) and cook for 9 minutes – sit for 20 minutes on sheet, perfect crunch and soft!!
Thanks again Karli!!
