Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (260 g / 9.2 oz) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup (225 g / 8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (115 g / 4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups (375 g / 13.2 oz) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g / 7 oz) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g / 3.5 oz) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups (240 g / 8.5 oz) powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsps cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 12 tbsps milk (as needed for consistency)
- Food coloring (optional, for decorative cookies)
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Calibrate oven to 375F (190C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for optimal cookie performance.
- Butter Mixture: Whip softened butter with granulated and brown sugars using an electric mixer until the texture becomes fluffy and pale, creating a rich foundational cream.
- Egg Integration: Blend eggs individually into the butter mixture, incorporating vanilla extract to elevate the flavor complexity, ensuring smooth and thorough incorporation.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Sift together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl to guarantee uniform distribution of dry components.
- Dough Formation: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, maintaining a tender dough structure, then delicately incorporate chocolate chips throughout for consistent sweet bursts.
- Cookie Shaping: Craft substantial dough balls approximately 1/4 cup in size, rolling into perfect spheres and positioning on prepared baking sheets with strategic spacing, slightly flattening tops to achieve the signature Crumbl cookie silhouette.
- Baking Process: Position sheets in preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until edges become golden and centers maintain a soft, slightly underdone texture.
- Cooling and Finishing: Allow cookies to stabilize on baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack; for frosted variations, whip butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk into a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Decoration: Once completely cooled, embellish cookies with prepared frosting using a piping bag or spatula, creating visually appealing and delectable final touches.
Notes
- Butter Temperature Matters: Use room temperature butter for maximum creaminess and easier mixing, ensuring a smooth cookie base.
- Avoid Overmixing Dough: Gently fold ingredients to prevent tough cookies, stopping when dry and wet components just combine.
- Sizing Consistency: Use a cookie scoop or measuring cup to create uniform cookie sizes, guaranteeing even baking and professional appearance.
- Cooling Technique: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring, allowing them to firm up and prevent breaking.
