    Crumbl Sugar Cookies Recipe with Measurements

    If you've had Crumbl cookies before, you'll love this copycat recipe! I'm a sucker for a sweet, buttery sugar cookie, so my favorite out of the ones I've tried is definitely the Crumbl chilled sugar cookie. It's soft and tender, with a bright almond flavor in the signature pink frosting. That's what you'll get with this copycat chilled sugar cookie recipe - they're big, thick cookies that are so decadent and fun!

    Why are Crumbl cookies so good?

    So what is so great about Crumbl cookies? Well the appeal of the Utah-based cookie company's treats is undeniable! Their cookie videos are always viral on social media and they have fans all over the U.S. The cookies are rich and decadent with fun, rotating flavors. And the Crumbl chilled sugar cookie is one of their classics!

    How much sugar is in a Crumbl cookie?

    These cookies are not for the faint of heart! According to their website, Crumbl's current menu offerings vary, but they can have over 50 grams of sugar and over 600 calories each. However, it's important to note that Crumbl considers each cookie to be several servings, so it's a great idea to share them!

    Ingredients for chilled sugar cookie recipe

    Crumbl Sugar Cookie Ingredients

    • butter - I used unsalted butter for this recipe, since we're adding salt in later. Your butter should be softened to room temperature -- see below for a tip!
    • powdered sugar - using powdered sugar instead of granulated helps these cookies to come out nice and soft! To make sure you don't use too much, make sure to sift your powdered sugar first before measuring with the spoon-and-level method, or just weigh it according to the gram measurements in the recipe card below using a kitchen scale.
    • vegetable oil - like the powdered sugar, using vegetable oil is a great way to keep these cookies soft and moist for days!
    • egg - your egg should be room temperature -- see below for a tip to get it to room temperature quickly!
    • vanilla - since vanilla is the primary flavor in this chilled sugar cookie recipe, it should be the good stuff -- pure vanilla extract. I like to make my own!
    • all-purpose flour - like your powdered sugar, make sure you're measuring your flour correctly, either by weight with a kitchen scale or using the spoon-and-level method.
    • baking powder - a little baking powder helps to give a lift and lighter texture to these copycat Crumbl cookies!
    • salt - to help bring out the vanilla flavor and balance out the sweetness!

    Chilled Sugar Cookie Recipe

    And for that iconic pink buttercream frosting, you'll need:

    • melted butter - I found that melting the butter creates a slightly smoother finish to the frosting.
    • powdered sugar - just like above, make sure it's measured correctly.  
    • almond extract - this is what gives the frosting that delicious almond flavor! Here's the almond extract that I use.
    • heavy cream - you'll start with two tablespoons, and adjust as needed to get a smooth, creamy texture.
    • salt - a pinch or two of salt helps to bring out the almond flavor in this frosting!
    • red food coloring - this is optional, but it's crucial for achieving that pink color that a crumbl chilled sugar cookie is known for!

    Equipment

    You won't need too many special tools for this copycat Crumbl sugar cookies recipe -- mostly just a large baking sheet -- I use the Nordicware Baker's Big Sheet lined with a Silpat ¾ sheet liner. You may also want a #16 cookie scoop to get evenly-sized cookies, and you'll also want a hand mixer or a stand mixer to mix up your dough!

    How to Make Copycat Crumbl Cookies

    This copycat Crumbl chilled sugar cookie recipe is so easy to put together! The full recipe is below in the recipe card, but here's the rundown of how you make them!

    1. Cream your softened butter and powdered sugar together in a large bowl, then add in your vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla.
    2. Sift in your flour and baking powder and mix until your cookie dough comes together.
    3. Let the dough chill while you preheat your oven and line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
    4. Use a #16 cookie scoop to scoop out 4 tablespoon sized balls of dough onto your prepared cookie sheet.
    5. Bake! Your copycat Crumbl cookies are ready when the tops look set and no longer glossy.

    What are all the Crumbl cookie flavors?

    The list of Crumbl cookie flavors is constantly growing, as they change the menu every week. So far, they've had Twix cookies, chocolate chip cookies, key lime cookies, pumpkin pie cookies, and even cornbread cookies! I can't wait to taste more of their flavors as they release them! If you don't have a Crumbl near you, you can definitely get that experience with this copycat chilled sugar cookie recipe!

    Do Crumbl sugar cookies need to be refrigerated?

    These copycat chilled sugar Crumbl cookies don't need to be refrigerated! They can stay fresh at room temperature for up to 4 days in an airtight container, or you can refrigerate them for up to a week.

    How to Make Copycat Crumbl Cookies

    Can you freeze Crumbl sugar cookies?

    Yes you can! Just place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and they'll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 4 months!

    Copycat Crumbl Cookies Tips and F.A.Q.

    How do I soften my butter quickly?

    If you're in a rush, soften your butter in seconds by popping it in the microwave! Heat your stick of butter on high for about 20 seconds, rotating every few seconds.

    closeup of crumbl chilled sugar cookie from above

    What size scoop does Crumbl use?

    For these copycat Crumbl sugar cookies recipe we're using a #16 cookie scoop (about 4 tbsp), which makes these cookies a really good size! But from my research, it looks like Crumbl cookies use a slightly larger scoop, holding about ¼ cup of cookie dough.

    How do I get my egg to room temperature quickly?

    It’s important to use room temperature eggs in most baking so that the cold egg doesn’t affect the rise or even baking of your result. However, if you didn’t have a chance to leave your egg out to get to room temperature, try this tip! Just submerge the egg in a bowl of lukewarm water for about 15 minutes. That will allow them to get to room temperature more quickly and ensure a great result for this Crumbl chilled sugar cookie recipe!

      Recipe itself is fantastic! But with the portion size for the cookies, I highly suggest cooking for 15-20 minutes instead of 10 minutes suggested. Even after letting my cookies set for 15 minutes after having them in the oven at 10 minutes they were still pretty raw in the middle. I would imagine it could also just be a difference in ovens too, so definitely double check the center before shutting off the oven. I ended up popping them back in the oven and they were perfect afterwards! Thank you again for the recipe!

        Hi Michele -- sorry the baking time didn't work for you! It does sound like a difference in your oven temp, which is why I definitely recommend using an oven thermometer to make sure your oven temp is accurate. Glad you enjoyed the recipe otherwise!

      Scouring the internet for a copycat Crumbl recipe of that delicious classic pink sugar cookie and thankfully came across Chenée’s! Highly recommend as they will be a hit with family and friends. The flavors are all there! Plus for a fraction of the price. It really hits the spot when you are craving Crumbl and rather save $4 per cookie🤭

      These are not only Perfect replicas of the famous sugar cookie, they are an incredible interpretation of what frosted sugar cookies hope to be!
      I have Just made these and my mind exploded! Thank you for this truly amazing and reliable recipe!!
      I poured through so many recipes claiming to be Crumbl copycats, but yours stood out for the inclusion of vegetable oil and the use of heavy cream in the frosting. Feels like I struck Gold, genuinely! Their texture, chew, flavor, and creamy qualities are Exact! Bravo!! I’m sharing your recipe far and wide and will continue to forever!
      Again, THANK YOU!! Can’t wait to try more of your work!!
