Copycat Crumbl Cookies
For lovers of baked goods, the past few years have been an incredible time. Following the cupcake craze of the 2010s, along with trendy options like gourmet donuts, cookies have taken center stage in recent years – particularly the exceptionally large, exceptionally delicious ones served up by Crumbl.
Those who’ve perused the fast-growing chain’s menu may have felt their jaws drop as they sized up a selection as sizeable as the cookies themselves, not to mention the prices. Fortunately, it’s easy to save yourself time and money by recreating them right in your home oven. Here’s a look at a few of the best options.
Just because it’s one of the most familiar options on the Crumbl menu doesn’t mean this is any ordinary cookie. It’s likely that most home bakers can whip up this straightforward choice using items from their pantry and fridge right now. Don’t forget the pink frosting for an extra boost of sweetness and some visual flair.
It doesn’t have to be your special day to enjoy a homemade version of Crumbl’s birthday cake-inspired cookies. They stand out visually and taste-wise in two ways: first, from the fun, color sprinkles baked into the cookies, and second, from the tasty cream cheese frosting. However, the real secret lies in a bit of cake batter flavoring added to both the cookies and frosting, creating a cohesive and delicious combination.
There’s no more iconic cookie than chocolate chip, and Crumbl’s version certainly doesn’t disappoint. These simple yet sizeable cookies earn their spot among the chain’s best from the combination of chocolate flavor and chewy texture. Don’t skimp on the chocolate chips!
Peanut butter lovers will be in heaven with these cookies, which offer a creamy peanut butter center and a delicious drizzle on top. Meanwhile, a mix of brown and white sugars adds complexity to the typical sweetness.
Turn this classic candy bar into a cookie in your kitchen, just like they do at Crumbl. It’s a top choice for flavor and texture, and an option you won’t find at most bakeries. Chewy chocolate cookies are topped with tropical shredded coconut, a rich chocolate frosting, and whole roasted almonds for an extra crunch.
Another innovative idea for cookie lovers, Crumbl took the classic chocolate and mint flavors of Andes and merged it with a traditional, chewy cookie. Rich, chocolatey dough is complemented with a refreshing, green-tinted icing that provides a visual pop as well. For a true Crumbl experience, add some chopped up Andes mints to the top for extra flavor and texture.
What’s better than one cookie? Two cookies, of course, and that’s precisely what bakers get with these copycat Biscoff cookies. The base cookie is a traditionally chewy Crumbl-style one, flecked with white chocolate for added flavor. Meanwhile, each cookie also includes a whole Biscoff cookie sticking right out of the top.
Crumbl figured out how to condense an entire blueberry cheesecake into cookie form, and now you can, too. It all starts with a graham cracker-based cookie that mimics the texture of a classic cheesecake crust. It’s topped with a simple yet delicious combination of cheesecake-style frosting and fresh blueberry sauce.
Chocolate and peanut butter are two of the most popular cookie flavors, so why not combine them? That’s exactly the case with Crumbl’s version of a Buckeye cookie. Rich chocolate cookies are topped with creamy layers of peanut butter and melted chocolate, providing an ultra-rich experience that’s as much of a brownie as a cookie.
Another diverse way to take advantage of the classic peanut butter-chocolate combination is to mimic the beloved Butterfinger candy bar. Deliciously chewy cookies are frosted with a drizzle of chocolate icing, followed by chopped bits of real Butterfingers or Butterfinger bits. It’s both simple and sophisticated, offering an option unlike any other peanut or chocolate cookie.
Enjoy a taste of Halloween year-round with these Crumbl copycats centered on the classic, polarizing candy. It’s a relatively simple base of a sugar cookie and vanilla frosting, but topped with the flair and flavor of real candy corn. This cute cookie is also a crowd pleaser at all sorts of fall events!
One of Crumbl’s more innovative and unusual takes on a familiar food, these caramel apple cookies evoke all the flavors and textures of the treat in baked good form. A uniquely flavored, distinctively spiced cookie base is topped with cream cheese frosting and a streusel that includes pieces of real apple. It’s the perfect way to enjoy caramel apples without the mess and hassle of eating them off a stick!
More fall flavors pair up for a tasty treat in this caramel pumpkin cookie. Pumpkin puree is baked right into the cookies, adding delicious flavor and keeping them perfectly moist. Meanwhile, a sweet, caramel-infused cream cheese frosting complements and accentuates the earthy sweetness.
Who says veggies can’t make mouthwatering cookies? Shredded carrots help provide structure, texture, and moisture to the chewy cookies that taste and feel just like carrot cake. Of course, they’ve also got a simple cream cheese frosting accentuated with pecans, because any true carrot cake is only complete with its traditional sweet topping.
Don’t wait for Crumbl to switch into holiday mode – enjoy these tasty cookies at home whenever the craving strikes! The flavor of the holiday season practically leaps off these cookies, which offer a unique combination of soft cookie, creamy icing, and crunchy bits of candy cane. There’s also an extra boost of holiday taste from peppermint extract included in the topping.
Those looking for a tropical vibe from their Crumbl trip likely have encountered this ideally balanced cookie, which contrasts lime tartness with coconut sweetness. Once again, this copycat recipe uses a familiar base stepped up with simple yet distinctive additions, like coconut extract, lime juice, and lime zest. There’s no better choice for a refreshingly sweet cookie experience.
Two favorite desserts come together in this Crumbl copycat, which starts with an intensely fudgy cookie crafted from a combination of Dutch processed cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and brown sugar. Meanwhile, more cocoa, vanilla, and butter are infused into the cream cheese-based frosting, just like a true slice of cake.
While the convenience of Crumbl may be nice, those with a bit of baking skill will find these recipes are simple and satisfying to recreate at home. After all, there’s nothing better than satisfying the cravings of your family and friends (not to mention yourself) while also saving yourself money and hassle.
