Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups (260 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
Binding and Leavening Agents:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Flavoring and Optional Frosting:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Optional Frosting:
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar
- 12 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional, for decorative cookies)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375F (190C) and lining baking sheets with protective parchment or silicone mats.
- Create a creamy foundation by whipping softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes light and airy, using an electric mixer for optimal texture.
- Introduce moisture and flavor by incorporating eggs individually, then blending in vanilla extract until the mixture appears smooth and uniform.
- Construct the dry ingredient blend by whisking flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate vessel, ensuring even distribution of the powdery components.
- Gradually integrate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to prevent overmixing and maintain a delicate dough consistency.
- Disperse chocolate chips throughout the dough, using a folding technique to ensure even distribution without deflating the mixture.
- Form substantial dough portions by scooping approximately 1/4 cup amounts, rolling into perfect spheres, and positioning them on prepared sheets with ample spacing.
- Gently press cookie tops to create the signature Crumbl cookie profile, slightly flattening each mound for a professional appearance.
- Position the baking sheets in the preheated oven, allowing cookies to transform for 10-12 minutes until edges become firm and centers maintain a slightly underbaked appearance.
- Allow initial cooling on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to complete the cooling process.
- For frosted variations, whip butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk into a luxurious cream, then artfully spread or pipe the topping onto completely cooled cookies.
Notes
- Customize the chocolate chip amount to suit your taste preferences, ensuring a perfect balance of sweetness and texture in every bite.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create those signature thick, bakery-style cookies.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help achieve a smoother, more consistent cookie dough that blends effortlessly.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like chopped nuts, various chocolate types, or seasonal flavors to make the recipe uniquely yours while maintaining the classic Crumbl-style texture.
