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.

This recipe is delicious. I subbed non-dairy butter and flax egg to make them vegan. This will be my go-to recipe now!

Miranda says
Hi Karli! I LOVE all your cookie recipes, thanks so much for creating them! I have an oven with convection setting, I was wondering if I should be baking all the cookies on convection. Do you use convection? If you do, do you lower the temperature or change the cook time? Are there some cookies that shouldn’t be baked on convection?
I will be experimenting with this setting with only one cookie dough ball at a time and see how it turns out.
Karli Bitner says
I generally don’t bake my cookies on convection just because I like to test it the way most people will be making them. I have done it a few times though and I always set my oven for 25° lower and then use the same bake time. 🙂
Gin says
Tried these for the first time! Will definitely be making these and the other Crumbl recipes 🙂
Jane says
These cookies are delicious. They are so rich and delicious we cut them like cake.
Terry says
Mine came out huge! Much larger than Crumbl (originals). 2nd batch I made smaller and topped with toasted pecans & they turned out perfect sized. Great recipe.
Wendy says
“Can I make a smaller cookie?” Pfft psshh *scoff* how can you ask a question like that? Why would you want to? 😆😆😆
Brandy says
Just made these. My sons bought Cruble last night and say these are better. Now they want Gingerbread ones. Have a recipe for that?
Really awesome best cookies I’ve ever made.
Donna says
2 cups of chocolate chips don’t seem like a lot using 4 1/4 cups of flour. I am going to use 2 bags of Guittard chips.
LM says
I never leave reviews for recipes but felt compelled to for this one. A friend and I made these cookies together, and we followed the recipe almost to a T (ours needed a couple extra minutes in the oven). The resemblance to Crumble is striking! The cookies were ginormous, fluffy, rich, and ooey gooey. Between our families, the cookies were devoured pretty quickly and we got compliments from everyone. 10/10 recommend!
Diana Toon says
These are the best chocolate chip cookies. The first time I made the huge cookies and not everyone got one before they were gobbled up. Now I use a smaller scoop to make them so more people can enjoy.
Keep up the good work, Karli!
Kendra says
Can you use this same recipe for mini cookies?
Diane says
Best chocolate chip cookie recipe out there. Thanks for sharing!
Ellen Donnell says
I am getting frustrated. Have made the chocolate chip cookies many times and they come out perfect. The last batch I made, they spread and were thin. Decided I left something out so tried again tonight, same thing. What am I doing wrong??
Douglas Kelly says
Love the TikTok’s! Can’t wait to try a bunch of these! Question is that my wife is craving white chocolate chip cookies. Can I simply sub white chocolate chips in this recipe or would I have to change the recipe to come out properly?
Thanks!
Doug
Karli Bitner says
Hi Doug- you can just swap out the chips with no other changes. Enjoy!
Diana says
Absolutely delicious! The first batch I made exactly like the recipe but the cookies were very big as you stated. Since then, I make them smaller so more people can enjoy them.
