Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (375 g / 13.2 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (225 g / 8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups (260 g / 9.2 ounces) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
Sweeteners and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200 g / 7 ounces) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g / 3.5 ounces) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Optional Frosting Ingredients:
- ½ cup (115 g / 4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (240 g / 8.5 ounces) powdered sugar
- 12 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional, for decorative cookies)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 375F (190C) and lining baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Create a creamy base by whipping softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes light and airy, using an electric mixer.
- Introduce eggs one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition, then incorporate vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile.
- In a separate vessel, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually integrate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to maintain a smooth, consistent dough texture.
- Delicately fold chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring an even spread of sweet morsels.
- Form substantial dough balls approximately 1/4 cup in size, rolling them into perfect spheres and positioning them on prepared baking sheets with ample spacing.
- Gently flatten the cookie tops to achieve the characteristic Crumbl cookie appearance, creating a slight depression in each dough ball.
- Slide the baking sheets into the preheated oven, allowing cookies to bake for 10-12 minutes until edges firm up and centers remain slightly underdone.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, enabling them to set and stabilize before transferring to a cooling rack.
- For frosted variations, whip together butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until achieving a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Once completely cooled, adorn cookies with prepared frosting, using a piping bag or spatula for decorative and delicious finishing touches.
Notes
- Choose room temperature butter for easier creaming and smoother cookie texture.
- Avoid overmixing the dough after adding dry ingredients to prevent tough cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop for consistently sized cookies that bake evenly.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker cookies.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like nuts, white chocolate, or seasonal candy to create unique flavor variations.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for maximum freshness, lasting up to 5 days.
- Underbake slightly for that signature soft, gooey Crumbl-style center that melts in your mouth.
