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.

I LOOOOVE cookies, and I LOOOOVE Crumbl. This is, I think, the third Crumble copycat recipe I’ve tried, and it is definitely the best! I followed all directions exactly, including all your comments in the post, and they couldn’t have turned out better! Thank you!
The dough was much wetter than cookie dough I usually make, so I was afraid they would spread and flatten out, bleeding into each other. So, while the first sheet baked, I chilled the second sheet in the fridge. Probably only chilled them for 15 minutes, so not sure if that would have made a difference, but I didn’t notice any difference in the perfection of either sheet. They remained thick, they were golden and crisp on the very outer later, with the entire insides soft and chewy, just like a cookie should be. I used a ½ cup measuring cup to divide them out and just kept them in that squat, cylindrical shape.
Again, these are the closest to Crumbl I have found. No need to keep searching for Crumbl copycats! Thank you so much!
Kelli says
LOVE these!!! The 1st time I made them they were perfect!! The next few times the dough was so sticky I couldn’t roll them in my hand and they were a little cakey…. I have followed the instructions the exact same ….. what am I doing wrong???
Thank you

This comment made me so happy! Thank you, Phil!
Karli Bitner says
Weird- it sounds like something went differently the next few times. Did you mix longer? Over mixing the flour can make them cakey, over baking can also do that, too.
Briana says
This has to be the best Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe in the world! The are SOOOOOOOOO good!! My whole family was shocked that they were EXACTLY like Crumbl!! I have been a huge Crumbl fan since they opened their first store, but I have an egg allergy and end up in so much pain after I eat them. I was able to use Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer in this recipe and they still turned out perfect! I’m so thankful I can now get my Crumbl fix without having crazy pain!
Hannah Walker says
This recipe is dangerously good. Every single time I make it they get devoured in minutes. It never fails to satisfy period cravings and put a smile on everyone’s face! Thanks 🙂
April says
I can’t seem to find the larger choc chips. Would you share where you purchased yours? Thanks!
Krista Kay Boston says
Would love if you can figure out the pineapple whip. Wow was that good.
Karli Bitner says
I just found them at my local grocery store, but they can be hard to find in some places! If none of your grocery stores carry them, you might try ordering some online. They can be purchased on amazon usually. 🙂
AJ says
Do you use salted or unsalted butter?
Karli Bitner says
I use salted butter.
Jamie says
These are my new staple cookies they are so delicious for certain better then the real ones I highly recommend trying these by the way there are other recipes out there saying that they are nukes but I tried them all and none of them can even come close
C. says
This is a fantastic Crumbl dupe! I’m impressed and I didn’t even have the ideal chocolate chips this time. The texture is just right. A keeper for sure!
Leslie Corey says
Hands down THE BEST chocolate chip cookies ever!!!
Esther says
Crumbl has mini cookies (normal size, really) for catering. I was wondering how long do you recommend cooking your cookies for a smaller size and still get that soft inside?
Sarah says
Everyone raves about this recipe! It’s a keeper! So yummy! coworkers even said they were better then crumble. My go to recipe for chocolate chip cookies now!
Flo Jackson says
Do these freeze well?
Karli Bitner says
They freeze great!
Karli Bitner says
I would bake them for about 9-12 minutes. 🙂
Karen says
So good! I made mine smaller, baked for about 7 minutes. Also used Splenda because I’m diabetic and no was any wiser. Everyone loved these.
