Crumbl Cookie Copycat Recipe (Giant Cookies at Home) – Viral TikTok-worthy Desser

What Do You Mean, Giant Cookies?

The thing about Crumbl cookies is that they are not so much “cookies” as they are edible paperweights disguised in pink boxes. You don’t eat a Crumbl cookie; you commit to it. You strategize. You maybe text a friend to split it, the way you would text a buddy to help you move a couch.

So of course, TikTok lost its collective mind over these giant, gooey-centered, frosting-topped creations. And of course, you—dear reader—are wondering: Do I really need to spend $5 a cookie?

No. Because thanks to the alchemy of butter, flour, and a little mischief, you can make your very own copycat Crumbl cookies at home. And when you do, you’ll gain not only bragging rights but also the ability to say: “Yes, I baked these monsters in my tiny oven, and yes, they are TikTok-worthy.”

Welcome to your beginner-friendly, totally over-the-top guide to baking Crumbl-style cookies in your very own kitchen. Brought to you by the sugar-fueled chaos team here at ContentHub.Guru.

The Anatomy of a Crumbl Cookie

Let’s break this down before you preheat the oven. A Crumbl cookie is:

1. Oversized. These are cookies that moonlight as hand weights.

2. Soft in the middle, slightly crisp on the outside. Think brownie-meets-cookie.

3. Extra indulgent. We’re talking pools of chocolate, thick frosting swirls, sometimes even cereal on top.

It’s the dessert equivalent of wearing sequins to brunch: unnecessary, impractical, but unforgettable.

The Base Recipe

At its core, the classic Crumbl chocolate chip cookie is a straightforward dough—but oversized, chilled, and baked in a way that makes it spread slowly (aka: thick, gooey centers).

Here’s the ContentHub.Guru base recipe (and don’t worry, I’ll give you swaps if your pantry looks like a college dorm).

Crumbl Cookie Copycat Recipe (Classic Chocolate Chip)

Yield: 8 giant cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12–15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 ¼ cups brown sugar, packed

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 cups chocolate chips (semisweet or milk—choose your fighter)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Cream butter + sugars together until light and fluffy (3 minutes).

3. Add eggs + vanilla. Beat until smooth.

4. Mix dry ingredients in another bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt. Slowly combine with wet.

5. Fold in chocolate chips like you’re hiding treasure.

6. Scoop dough into ½ cup mounds (yes, half a cup per cookie). Roll gently into balls and place 3 inches apart.

7. Chill dough balls in the fridge for 20–30 minutes before baking. (This step ensures they spread slowly and stay thick.)

8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked.

9. Cool on tray for 10 minutes before moving. Or don’t wait—chaos is also an option.

Alternative Ingredients (The Remix Section)

• Flour Swap: No all-purpose? Bread flour makes chewier cookies. Cake flour = fluffier, cake-like texture. Gluten-free blends work, but add an extra egg yolk for structure.

• Sugar Swap: Brown sugar = chewy. White sugar = crispier. Coconut sugar = deep, caramel vibes.

• Chocolate Swap: Dark chips for sophistication, M&Ms for chaos, chopped chocolate chunks for maximum goo.

• Butter Swap: Brown your butter before mixing = nutty depth. Dairy-free butter also works, but chill the dough longer.

Pro tip from ContentHub.Guru: Freeze extra dough balls and bake one at 2 AM when you’ve lost control of your life choices.

How-To: Make Frosted Crumbl Cookies

Because Crumbl doesn’t stop at chocolate chips, and neither should you. Here’s how to make those frosting-topped flavors at home:

1. Bake plain sugar cookies (same base, just omit chocolate chips).

2. Whip up buttercream: 1 cup butter + 3 cups powdered sugar + splash of milk + vanilla.

3. Pipe or schmear (Crumbl does both).

4. Add toppings: Oreos, Fruity Pebbles, peanut butter drizzle, or seasonal chaos.

Congratulations—you’ve just created a cookie so extra it should come with its own Instagram handle.

So go ahead—bake the monster cookies. Stack them high. Post them on TikTok. And when people ask, “Where’d you get that recipe?” you say with a wink: ContentHub.Guru.

Because if cookies this outrageous don’t deserve their own guru, what does?

Bonus Variation: Crumbl Sugar Cookie with Pink Frosting (The Icon)

Because what is Crumbl without that thick, soft sugar cookie crowned with blush-pink frosting? It’s the poster child of their menu, the cookie equivalent of the Barbie Dreamhouse, and quite possibly the reason Crumbl’s Instagram became a shrine to frosting.

Here’s how to make it at home, ContentHub.Guru style:

Ingredients

For the Sugar Cookie Base

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

For the Pink Frosting

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 3 cups powdered sugar

• 2 tbsp heavy cream (or milk)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1–2 drops pink food coloring (Crumbl pink is more “soft ballet” than “Barbie hot pink”)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

2. Cream butter + sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add eggs + vanilla and mix until combined.

4. Whisk dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) in a separate bowl. Slowly add to wet mixture.

5. Scoop dough into large ½-cup balls, roll gently, and flatten slightly (sugar cookies don’t spread as much).

6. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers look pale. These cookies live for softness.

7. Cool completely before frosting (patience, grasshopper).

Make the Frosting:

1. Beat butter until fluffy.

2. Add powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla. Whip until cloud-like.

3. Add pink food coloring, one drop at a time.

4. Frost cookies generously, swirl for drama.

Alternative Swaps

• Flavor twist: Replace vanilla extract with almond extract for a bakery-style sugar cookie.

• Frosting fun: Add strawberry puree for a fruity spin, or swap pink for pastel blue, yellow, or lavender.

• Health-ish swap: Use coconut oil instead of butter in the frosting for a lighter vibe (though “healthy Crumbl cookie” is still an oxymoron).

Recipe Card (Sugar Cookie with Pink Frosting)

• Cream butter + sugar. Add eggs + vanilla.

• Stir in dry ingredients.

• Scoop ½ cup dough balls, flatten slightly.

• Bake 10–12 min at 350°F. Cool completely.
