Ingredients for Frosted Crumbl Cookies
Alright, let’s talk ingredients! To make these amazing Frosted Crumbl Cookies, you’ll need a few key things. First, for the cookies themselves, grab 4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour. Don’t forget 1 TBS of baking powder and 1 tsp of fine sea salt. Now, for the good stuff: 1 1/2 cups of unsalted butter (make sure it’s softened!). You’ll also need 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 6 large egg whites, 1 1/2 tsp of cake batter extract (this is my secret weapon!), and 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. Oh, and don’t forget 1/3 cup of those super cute pastel sequin sprinkles – or confetti sprinkles, if you prefer!
For the frosting, you’re gonna need another 1 cup of unsalted butter (softened, again!), 8 oz of cream cheese (yep, softened!), and a WHOPPING 6 cups of powdered sugar. Trust me, it’s worth it. Also, grab 1 TBS of heavy cream, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, pink food coloring (gel is best!), and extra pastel sequin sprinkles for garnish. Got all that? Great! Let’s get baking!
How to Make Frosted Crumbl Cookies – Step-by-Step
Preparing the Cookie Dough
Okay, first things first: the cookie dough! In a big bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, and salt. Set that aside. Next, in your mixer (or with a sturdy bowl and some elbow grease!), cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes a few minutes. Then, add your egg whites, one at a time, mixing well after each. Don’t forget that cake batter extract and vanilla – they’re key! Now, gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until *just* combined. Don’t overmix! Fold in those adorable pastel sprinkles.
Baking the Frosted Crumbl Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. This is a MUST – trust me! Divide your dough into 12 equal portions. Roll ’em into balls and place them on the prepared sheets, leaving some space between each. Now, flatten those dough balls into large circles. Pop ’em in the oven for 12-15 minutes. You’re looking for lightly golden brown edges and a set top. Let the cookies cool *completely* before frosting. Seriously, don’t rush this step!
Making the Cream Cheese Frosting
While the cookies are cooling, let’s make that dreamy frosting! In your mixer, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until it’s super smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed at first (or you’ll have a powdered sugar cloud!). Scrape down the bowl as needed. Add your heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix on low until combined, then whip on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, until it’s light and fluffy. Finally, add your pink food coloring until you get the perfect shade of pink!
Frosting and Garnishing Your Crumbl Cookies
Alright, the fun part! Once your cookies are completely cool, it’s time to frost. Grab a piping bag with an open round tip (or just snip the corner off a plastic bag). Pipe a generous swirl of that gorgeous pink frosting onto each cookie. And finally, the pièce de résistance: garnish with extra pastel sprinkles! These Frosted Crumbl Cookies are best served immediately, but you can also store them in an airtight container for later. Enjoy!
Tips for the Best Frosted Crumbl Cookies
Okay, wanna make these Frosted Crumbl Cookies *perfect*? Here’s the deal: softened butter and cream cheese are key! If they’re too cold, you’ll end up with lumpy frosting. Also, don’t overmix the dough! Overmixing leads to tough cookies, and nobody wants that. And, I can’t stress this enough, let the cookies cool completely before frosting. Otherwise, the frosting will melt right off. Trust me, I’ve been there!
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions for Frosted Crumbl Cookies
Okay, let’s talk swaps! That cake batter extract? It’s what gives these Frosted Crumbl Cookies their signature flavor. But, if you can’t find it, almond extract works great too! As for sprinkles…go wild! Any kind will do, just make sure they’re pastel-y for that Crumbl vibe. Oh, and if you’re feeling adventurous, try brown butter for a nutty cookie base – yum!
Frequently Asked Questions About Frosted Crumbl Cookies
Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter for these Frosted Crumbl Cookies?
Okay, so, salted butter *can* work, but it’ll change the flavor a bit. If you use it, just cut back on the salt in the cookie dough by about 1/4 teaspoon. Easy peasy!
How do I store these Frosted Crumbl Cookies?
To keep these beauties fresh, pop ’em in an airtight container. They’re best enjoyed within 2-3 days, but honestly, they probably won’t last that long! They’re just too good!
Can I freeze the cookie dough for these Frosted Crumbl Cookies?
Yep, you totally can! Just wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap, then pop it in a freezer bag. It’ll keep for up to a month. When you’re ready to bake, thaw it in the fridge overnight. So easy!
Serving Suggestions for Your Frosted Crumbl Cookies
Okay, so you’ve got these gorgeous Frosted Crumbl Cookies…now what? My absolute favorite way to enjoy them is with a big glass of cold milk. But honestly, they’re also amazing with a cup of coffee or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Talk about a dessert overload! You really can’t go wrong!
