how to make Crumbl Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (Copycat)

Ingredients :

  • 1 cup butter (room temp, salted or unsalted (2 sticks))
  • 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar (packed, *high altitude reduce to 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (I used organic cane sugar, stays the same for high altitude)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (add 2 tablespoons for high altitude)
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt (add ¼ teaspoon if using unsalted butter)
  • 2-3 cups milk chocolate chips (I used 1 1/2 11.5 oz pkg Ghirardelli)

Directions :

  1. Preheat your oven to 375° F (190° C) and position your rack in the middle. Line a cookie sheet (half-sheet pan) with parchment paper for the best results. It’s good to use 3 cookie sheets for this recipe.

  2. Beat the softened butter until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add both sugars and continue beating until creamed and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl halfway through. A stand mixer works best for this step but you can use a hand mixer if needed.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed. Mix for 1 minute per egg, then add the vanilla. Remember to scrape the sides of the bowl.

  4. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt. Whisk well to mix.

  5. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined and there are no visible streaks of flour. Do not overmix if you want chewy, soft cookies!

  6. Add the chocolate chips. You can fold them in by hand or use the lowest setting on your mixer.

  7. Scoop out a heaping ⅓ cup of cookie dough (about 4.2 ounces/117 grams) and pinch the dough ball in half, turning the top half upside down on the bottom half, jagged side up. Place the dough balls 2-3 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets. A large cookie scoop works great for this.

  8. This is a no-chill cookie recipe. However, if your dough is very soft, consider chilling it in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes before baking.

  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, no longer! The cookies should be just barely golden at the edges and slightly firm in the center. Let them cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then move them to a wire rack.

  10. Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze dough balls, place them on a tray and flash freeze for an hour until firm, then transfer to an airtight container. Thaw the dough balls at room temperature before baking.
