Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
For the Pink Almond Icing:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2–4 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
- Pink food coloring
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop out 1/4 cup portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, gently flatten each dough ball to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned. They should appear slightly undercooked to maintain a soft texture.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Pink Almond Icing:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the almond extract.
- Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the icing reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Mix in a few drops of pink food coloring until the desired shade is achieved.
- Assemble the Cookies:
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread a generous amount of pink icing on top of each cookie.
- For the authentic Crumbl experience, place the frosted cookies in the refrigerator and serve them chilled.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for both the cookies and icing to achieve a smooth texture.
- Do not overbake the cookies; they should remain pale to maintain their soft and chewy consistency.
- Chilling the cookies after frosting enhances their flavor and texture, mimicking the original Crumbl cookies.
