How to make this Crumbl snickerdoodle recipe

Here’s how to make this Crumbl cookie copycat recipe! First make the cookie dough batter by creaming together butter and sugars, then adding in egg and vanilla and beating until smooth. Next, add the remaining batter ingredients and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and the mixture is crumbly but presses together. 

Next, make the cinnamon-sugar coating. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Set aside. 

Now, you’ll divide the cookie dough into 9 equal size cookie dough balls. Roll cookie balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat. 

Form the dough balls into cookies by place all cinnamon sugar-coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Use the bottom of a drinking glass or similar flat-bottom object to flatten the dough until it is about ¾ of an inch thick. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon and sugar mixture. 

Bake in the preheated 350 degrees oven for 10 minutes. The cookies should be soft and chewy in the center so do not overbake. Cool the cookies on a wire rack before frosting.

To make the cream cheese frosting, combine the softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add in powdered sugar one cup at a time and mix until smooth.  

To pipe on the frosting, transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip – we used 2D. Then, starting in the center of the cookie, pipe a continuous spiral of frosting on top of the cookie, stopping just inside the edge so the jagged rim of the cookie is still visible.  

The last step is to sprinkle the top of the cookies with additional ground cinnamon to garnish, if desired, before enjoying your homemade copycat snickerdoodle Crumbl cookies!

5 secret tips for baking success when making cookies

Use Room Temperature Ingredients

For best results making this Crumbl Snickerdoodle Recipe, bring your butter and eggs to room temperature before starting. Room-temperature butter creamed with sugar creates a smoother, more aerated cookie dough, resulting in a better texture. Room-temperature eggs mix more evenly into the dough.

Measure Accurately

Precise measurements are critical in baking. Use a kitchen scale for accurate ingredient measurements, especially for flour and sugar. Level off dry ingredients in your measuring cup with a flat edge for consistency. We love this measuring cup & spoons set!

Chill the Dough

After mixing the cookie dough, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight. Chilled dough spreads less during baking, resulting in thicker and chewier cookies. It also allows the flavors to meld and develop.

Use Parchment Paper or Silpat Mats

Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats (Silpat) to prevent cookies from sticking to the pan and to ensure even baking. This also makes cleanup a breeze.

Watch Bake Time Closely

Keep a close eye on your cookies while they’re in the oven. Cookies can go from perfectly baked to overdone in a matter of minutes. Start with the recommended baking time, but adjust as needed based on your oven temperature quirks and the size of your cookies.

By following these secret tips, you’ll be well on your way to baking soft cookies that are not only delicious but will turn into the best chewy cookies.

How to store crumbl cookies?

The best way to store Crumbl cookies (and this goes for your copycat Crumbl cookies or storebought Crumbls as well), is to put them an air-tight container after they have cooled completely. Airtight containers help preserve the freshness and texture of the cookies by preventing moisture from getting in and keeping the cookies from drying out. 

Good airtight containers for storing cookies include glass or plastic airtight containers, glass jars with rubber gaskets, metal cookie tins with tight-fitting lids, and vacuum sealed bags.

Can you freeze crumbl cookies?

Yes, you can freeze these Crumbl cookies to extend their shelf life. Freezing is an excellent way to preserve the cookies and enjoy them at a later date. Here’s how to do it:

First, allow the Crumbl cookies to cool completely at room temperature. It’s essential to freeze them when they are at room temperature to prevent moisture buildup inside the storage container.

Wrapping each cookie individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil helps prevent the cookies from sticking together and helps maintain their texture.

Place the individually wrapped cookies in an airtight container or a resealable freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Label the container or bag with the date to help you keep track of their freshness.

How long will frozen Crumbl cookies last in the freezer?

Properly frozen Crumbl cookies can stay delicious for up to two to three months. Freezing is a convenient way to have your favorite cookies on hand whenever you’re in the mood for a treat.
