A soft, tender cookie recipe that replicates the texture and flavor of Crumbl cookies, using simple pantry ingredients and easy steps.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (whole or 2%, or almond milk as substitute)
  • Optional mix-ins: 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips, white chocolate chunks, or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup packed light brown sugar until fluffy and light in color, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then mix in 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with 1/4 cup milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix gently after each addition to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or sprinkles if desired, folding carefully to keep the dough light.
  7. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, drop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if cookies spread too much. Pull cookies from oven when edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked to keep them soft. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough cookies. Optional mix-ins can be added for variety. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum if needed. For dairy-free, substitute vegan butter and plant-based milk.
