Crumbl Chocolate Chip Cookies
This copycat recipe makes the most perfect Crumbl chocolate chip cookies that are super soft and chewy inside, a little crisp outside and totally gooey and decadent with warm chocolate chips. Although I think they are best served warm, I also love them served at room temperature.
These Crumbl chocolate chip cookies just like their chilled Crumbl sugar cookies made with almond extract and topped with their fun pink icing, are always on the store’s weekly rotating menu. They have become super popular and now you can make them at home!
Note: As I publish this post, I’ve learned that Crumbl’s pink sugar cookie is no longer on their weekly rotation. If I didn’t have a copycat crumbl sugar cookies recipe I would certainly be upset as it was one of my absolute favorites.

What Are Crumble Cookies?
Crumbl is the fastest-growing franchised cookie company in the US. They sell deliciously buttery, soft, gooey, cake-like thick cookies that are baked in their open-concept kitchen stores, and packed in a cute pink box. Their menu rotates weekly and has featured a variety of flavors (more than 200 so far). I don’t think I can pick just one favorite cookie but some of the flavors that come to mind are churro cookies, banana cream pie, chocolate oreo crumbl cookies, key lime pie, fruity pebbles, apple pie, twix and cosmic brownie.
Crumbl Cookie Recipe Ingredients
Be sure to check the printable recipe card below for the complete ingredient’s list and their exact quantities.
- Butter: Unsalted butter or salted butter can be used. Make sure your butter is at room temperature
- Flour: I use a combination of cake flour and all-purpose flour.
- Sugar:This chocolate chip cookie recipe uses a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar. Brown sugar adds flavor and produces softer and chewier cookies.
- Eggs: I use large eggs. Eggs provide structure to the dough.
- Flavorings: Vanilla extract and salt.
- Leavening: Baking soda and baking powder.
- Chocolate Chips: Crumbl uses milk chocolate chips (like Guittard milk chocolate chips). I always have semi-sweet chocolate chips at home so that’s what I used for this recipe.

You have questions? We have answers!
Yes! These are large, thick and gooey cookies that need some time to set before you can remove them from the baking sheet pan.
I highly recommend that you use a combination of all purpose flour and cake flour to make this recipe. The cake flour is essential if you want to achieve the soft, tender and fluffy texture of the original crumbl choco chip cookie. If you don’t have cake flour, check my quick substitution on the chef’s notes of the recipe card below.
Making Ahead, Storing and Freezing a Crumbl Cookies
Make Ahead: You can make the crumble cookie dough in advance. Keep the cookie dough covered in the refrigerator for 2 days. When ready to bake, allow the dough to come to room temperature before portioning them, rolling them and baking them.
Storage: Store the Crumbl chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5 days.
Freezing: Cool the cookies completely, store them in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze them for about 2-3 months. Thaw at room temperature for about 2 hours or until ready to eat. The cookie dough also freezes well. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.

Chad says
They taste great but they’re way under done even at 12 minutes. Would you reccomend baking a slightly higher temperature or baking them longer?
Kathy says
Hi Chad! Sorry your cookies were underdone. Definitely bake them longer at the same temperature. Crumbl cookies are very much on the “under baked” side for my taste but everyone seems to love that 🙂
