Ingredients Needed

The ingredients needed for these copycat Crumbl cookies are very important so listen up! I am very passionate about my chocolate chips because I LOVE milk chocolate chips. It can be a controversial topic because a lot of people like semi-sweet. But I’m telling you, if Crumbl uses milk chocolate chips, then that’s what we use! Following my recipe below for the exact ingredients needed to successfully make these cookies.

Unsalted Butter: I like to control the salt flavors in my cookies so I use unsalted. Granulated Sugar: The combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar is a must in chocolate chip cookies. Light Brown Sugar: Make sure to pack the brown sugar because it really matters. Eggs: Room temperature is best. All-Purpose Flour: Adds structure to a cookie recipe. Vanilla Extract: My favorite is Mexican vanilla. Baking Soda and Baking Powder: You need both to help the cookies rise and become light and fluffy. Salt: Salt always enhances the sweetness of a cookie. Cornstarch: Preserves the softness of the cookie. Milk Chocolate Chips: Use the brand Guittard for the most accurate taste!

This copycat Crumbl cookie recipe is easy to make at home! It’s simple and so straightforward. First, cream your butter and sugar. Add the rest of your ingredients and mix, then pop them in the oven. It’s also satisfying to know how much money you’re saving by making them yourself. Following my instructions below and you will love the outcome of your copycat Crumbl cookies.

Cream the Butter and Sugars: Be sure to cream the butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until fluffy and pale in color. Higher Temperature: Bake cookie dough at a higher temperature for less amount of time. Slightly Underbake: Don’t cook all the way through, let them sit on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack. Don’t Overmix the Flour: Mix the flour into the dough just until combined. Over-mixing results in tough cookies. Use Good Quality Chocolate Chips: Guittard is the brand to use! It’s the brand Crumbl uses and it’s the best. Don’t Overbeat the Eggs: Too much beating can create too much air. This causes the cookies to rise and then fall as they bake resulting in flat cookies.

On the Counter: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. In the Freezer: Baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Unbaked cookie dough can be portioned out and frozen. Frozen cookie dough will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. Bake directly from frozen, but add 2-3 minutes of baking time. To Reheat: Microwave your cookie for 15 seconds for a warm cookie experience!
