Crumbl's Chocolate Cupcake cookie is a warm sugar cookie topped with the fudgiest chocolate icing ever.
Servings: 24 1/2 cookie servings (makes 12 cookies)
Ingredients
Sugar Cookie Base Cookie
- 1 1/2 cups salted butter room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
Chocolate Fudge Frosting + Toppings
- 3/4 cup salted butter room temperature
- 4 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup dutch processed cocoa powder
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- milk to thin
- chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- While the oven is preheating make the cookie dough. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Scrape the sides, add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until mixed.
- Scrape the sides and add in the flour, & baking powder. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Scoop out a generous 1/3 cup of dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Flatten the cookie dough so it looks similar to what your finished cookie will look like. It should.be about 1/2 inch thick. The cookies will spread just a little bit, not much. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Arrange on a cookie sheet. I tend to only put 6 cookies per pan.
- Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until the centers of the cookies have puffed up and are no longer glossy.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting, by whipping the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time.
- Add in the cocoa powder.
- Add the vanilla.
- Add milk 1 tbsp at a time until you've reached your desired consistency.
- Add the frosting to a piping bag fit with a large closed star attachment. Pipe the frosting onto the warm cookies in a spiral, starting in the center of the cookie working your way out.
- Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles on top of the frosting. Serve warm.
