Description
Make soft, thick sugar cookies that perfectly copy the taste and texture of the popular Crumbl version, complete with signature pink almond frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream (for frosting)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (for frosting)
- Pink gel food coloring (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Scoop the dough using a large ice cream scoop (about 1/3 cup per cookie) and place onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 3 inches between each mound.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still look slightly soft and underbaked.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
- Add pink gel food coloring one drop at a time until you reach the desired bright pink color. The frosting should be thick but spreadable.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous layer of pink frosting over the top of each cookie.
Notes
- For the signature thick cookie, do not flatten the dough balls before baking.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it for 15 minutes before scooping.
- The cookies firm up as they cool, achieving the desired soft-chewy center.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
