Crumbl Cookies are soft, buttery, and topped with a rich cream cheese frosting that makes every bite irresistible. This recipe guides you through creating these delightful cookies perfect for any occasion.

A close-up shows a round cookie with two layers: the bottom layer is a light tan cookie base with a soft, crumbly texture, and the top layer is a thick swirl of smooth light pink frosting covering the entire surface. The frosting is decorated with small, colorful sprinkles in shapes like flowers and thin rods in colors such as blue, green, yellow, white, and pink. The cookie is held gently between two fingers, with more similar cookies in the background resting on a wooden surface, blurred out.

Ingredients

70 g Brown Sugar
70 g Sugar
115 g Butter, melted
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
220 g Plain Flour
1 tbsp Cornflour
½ tsp Baking Soda
½ tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Salt
Cream Cheese Frosting ingredients:
90 g Butter, softened
90 g Cream Cheese
250 g Icing Sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 175°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 2: Whisk together both sugars with the melted butter until combined.
Step 3: Add the egg and vanilla extract, then whisk until smooth.
Step 4: Sift in the plain flour, cornflour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined.
Step 5: Roll the dough into 50g balls and place them onto the baking tray. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 6: Ensure the dough balls are spaced apart to allow spreading. Bake in the oven at 175°C for 12 minutes. Let cool completely before decorating.
Step 7: For the cream cheese frosting, whisk together softened butter, cream cheese, and icing sugar for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Step 8: Add vanilla extract and whisk again until combined. If desired, add food coloring and mix well.
Step 9: Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cookies and sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles.

Tips & Variations

For extra soft cookies, avoid overmixing the dough once the flour is added.
Try adding chocolate chips or crushed nuts into the dough for added texture.
You can swap the cornflour for an equal amount of cornstarch if unavailable.
If you prefer a firmer frosting, chill it briefly before piping onto the cookies.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before serving, allow them to come to room temperature or warm slightly for a softer texture. The frosting tastes best when chilled but can be left out briefly before eating to soften.
