Crumbl Cookies
Crumbl is a cookie shop that has been popping up all over Utah, and now popping up across the whole country. They are known for their HUGE but insanely delicious cookies. If you don’t have a Crumbl near you, or if your crumbl addiction is starting to break the bank, I have the solution for you! These copycat cookies are just like the real thing, but so much more affordable. I actually have a giant list of all the Copycat Crumbl Recipes on my site, so go peruse, if desired.
These might just be the easiest sugar cookies you will ever make. They feature a no chill dough that you don’t even have to roll out. Which means you can go from craving to cookie in no time flat.
One of the best things about a crumbl sugar cookie is the SIZE. They are absolutely GIANT! I use a the largest scoop in this cookie scoop set (it’s the #12 scoop) to make these cookies. You can make them smaller if you would like, I have a recipe for the Catering Size Crumbl Sugar Cookies actually! But no judgement here if you tackle one of these bad boys yourself. I guarantee you will want to!
Ingredients in Crumbl Sugar Cookies
For the Cookies
- Softened Butter- I use salted butter because that is what I always have on hand. You could use unsalted if that is what you have, but you will want to add a pinch of salt to the recipe.
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla Extract
- Almond Extract– Crumbl’s sugar cookie is very almond forward. If you are more of a vanilla fan, just omit the almond extract.
- Flour- All purpose flour is all you’ll need in this recipe!
- Baking Powder
For the Icing
- Softened Butter
- Powdered Sugar
- Almond Extract– One of best things about a Crumbl sugar cookie is the kick of almond flavor that it has. However, if you don’t like almond extract you are certainly welcome to substitute vanilla here. Removing the almond will leave you with a really good sugar cookie, but not a signature Crumbl sugar cookie.
- Milk
- Neon Pink Food Coloring– Really you can use any color, but to get the classic Crumbl look you will need just a little bit of neon pink.
How To Make Crumbl Sugar Cookies
The Cookie
- Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees
- While the oven is preheating begin the cookie dough by creaming together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs, vanilla extract and almond extract and beat again until it is mixed well.
- Scrape the sides again and add the flour and baking powder. Mix again until thoroughly combined.
- Portion out the dough using a #12 scoop or about 1/3 cup of dough before gently pressing down on the cookie dough to flatten it just slightly prior to baking.
- The cookies will spread a bit as they bake, so make sure to leave room in between the cookies on the pan. I usually only put 6 cookies per pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. It is so important to not over bake these cookies! Over baking will cause your cookies to dry out, and we want a soft and chewy texture. The cookies shouldn’t brown at all. You will know they are ready when they are puffed up and no longer look wet in the middle.
The Icing
- Once they are removed from the oven, allow them to cool on the cookie sheet.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting by creaming the butter until nice and smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar, almond extract and milk until smooth and creamy. Then add 2-4 drops of the neon pink food coloring, if desired.
- Spread a thick dollop of frosting onto each cooled, cookie.
- Crumbl sugar cookies are served chilled, so if you can bring yourself to wait, chill them in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
- There you have it. Crumbl sugar cookies from your kitchen, and at a fraction of the price!

These cookies were absolutely delicious and easy to make! They came out perfect 🤩
Easy to make and perfect every time!
They were good. Not my favorite of the crumble copycat so far but my daughter was a huge fan of this one and we definitely make them again. I just won’t use as much frosting next time. My favorites so far have been the chocolate chip and the snickerdoodles. Thanks for the recipes!!
it was good the first time I made it the second time I made it it was over cooked they were pretty good tho 4/5 stars!!!
This is identical if not better. Thank you for saving me money, time, and irritation at this not being on the menu each week! It’s on MY menu each week for a fraction of the cost.
Fantastic recipe! Cookies and icing are amazing!
Thanks for the update! 🙌 I’ve been keeping track of the weekly menus and prices here: crumblcookiesprices.us — they stay pretty up-to-date with what’s coming next and how much everything costs. Super helpful if you’re planning your cookie run
This recipe is amazing, I’ve actually never had a Crumbl sugar cookie but wanted to make a copycat for a friend. I want to somehow make these into cut out cookies because they would be heavenly as a cut out cookie! So soft. I do think the almond extract is a bit over powering in the frosting so I think next time I’ll cut that in half.
Just had to reduce the sugar for this one. The cookies turned out so delicious! Thank you for the recipe!
Great recipe, I’ve made it several times, my family begs for more! Thank you!
I made these and they turned out amazing!! thank you!!
Could you make the mallow sandwich cookie please!
