Scale

Crumbl Cookie Recipe

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

Cookie Icing

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • Pink food coloring, a few drops

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Set aside this dry mixture.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: Using a stand mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is fluffy. Then, mix in the vegetable oil to combine well.
  4. Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the butter and sugar mixture.
  5. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, mixing slowly until just combined to avoid overmixing and ensure the cookies stay tender.
  6. Shape cookies: Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop the dough and roll it into balls. Place each ball onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, then gently flatten each dough ball.
  7. Bake cookies: Arrange six cookies per baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the center remains soft.
  8. Cool cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  9. Make the frosting: In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the heavy cream (or milk) and almond extract, blending until you reach a creamy, spreadable consistency. Adjust with more cream or sugar as needed.
  10. Add color: Incorporate a few drops of pink food coloring into the frosting, mixing until you achieve the desired shade of pink.
  11. Frost cookies and chill: Spread the pink frosting evenly over the cooled cookies. Place the frosted cookies in the refrigerator to chill and let the frosting set before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough after adding the dry ingredients to keep cookies tender.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking and ensure even baking.
  • Chill the frosted cookies before serving to help the frosting set nicely.
  • The almond extract in the frosting adds a subtle, unique flavor—do not skip it for the authentic taste.
  • If desired, adjust the pink food coloring amount to get your preferred frosting color intensity.
