Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Chilled frosting for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your cookies bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will help to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as you no longer see any flour streaks.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave enough space between each cookie, as they will spread while baking.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare your chilled frosting. You can use store-bought frosting or make your own by mixing together softened butter, powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, generously frost each cookie with the chilled frosting. You can use a knife or a piping bag for a decorative touch.
- For an extra special touch, consider adding sprinkles or colored sugar on top of the frosted cookies before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious Copycat Crumbl Chilled Sugar Cookies with friends and family!
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this ensures the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can make your cookies tough instead of tender.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Let cookies cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- Chill the frosting for at least 30 minutes before decorating for that signature Crumbl look.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different extract variations like lemon or coconut.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their incredible texture.
- For best results, use room temperature eggs which blend more smoothly into the batter.
