Crumbl Cookies have taken the dessert world by storm with their rotating menu of giant, gourmet cookies. But why wait for your favorite flavor to come back when you can make them at home?
These copycat recipes capture all the magic of those famous pink boxes without the long lines or hefty price tag. Get ready to impress your friends and satisfy your sweet tooth with these spot-on recreations of Crumbl’s most beloved cookies.
1. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunk
Holy mother of chocolate! Nothing beats the classic that started the Crumbl empire – warm, thick cookies studded with massive pools of melted semi-sweet chocolate. The secret? Refrigerate your dough for 24 hours before baking to develop that complex, toffee-like flavor.
Brown butter elevates these babies from good to life-changing. Just cool it completely before mixing or you’ll end up with greasy cookie puddles. Trust me, I learned the hard way.
2. Milk Chocolate Chip
Forget everything you thought you knew about chocolate chip cookies! Crumbl’s milk chocolate version isn’t just another CCC – it’s a buttery, vanilla-forward masterpiece that happens to be loaded with creamy milk chocolate chips.
Cornstarch is the unexpected hero ingredient here, giving these cookies that melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s impossible to resist. And don’t you dare use cold butter – room temperature is non-negotiable for that perfect spread.
3. Peanut Butter Cup Skillet
Game night just got dangerously delicious! This beast of a dessert combines two American icons – skillet cookies and peanut butter cups – into one show-stopping treat that’ll make your guests forget all about winning.
The base is essentially peanut butter cookie dough on steroids, baked until the edges are set but the center remains gloriously gooey. While still hot, you’ll press in chopped peanut butter cups that melt into pools of chocolate-peanut butter nirvana.
4. Triple Chocolate Chip
Chocoholics, prepare to meet your match! This isn’t just a cookie – it’s a chocolate intervention featuring three types of chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, AND white) embedded in a rich cocoa dough that’s practically fudge in cookie form.
Cake flour gives these monsters their tender crumb, while a touch of espresso powder amplifies the chocolate flavor without tasting like coffee. Don’t skimp on quality chocolate here – this is where the good stuff really shines.
5. Cinnamon Roll
Breakfast or dessert? Who cares when it tastes this good! These cookies are what would happen if a cinnamon roll and a snickerdoodle had a very delicious baby – soft, buttery, and swirled with cinnamon sugar that caramelizes as it bakes.
The cream cheese frosting is non-negotiable here, people. Apply it while the cookies are still warm so it melts slightly into all those cinnamon crevices. A pinch of cardamom in the dough is my secret weapon for that “what’s that amazing flavor?” moment.
6. Wedding Cake
No need to wait for someone to put a ring on it! These almond-flavored cookies channel all the joy of wedding cake without the awkward small talk with distant relatives. The dough is infused with almond extract and vanilla bean for that classic wedding cake flavor that makes everyone swoon.
The real magic happens with the thick layer of vanilla buttercream that’s whipped until cloud-like. Add a few rainbow sprinkles if you’re feeling festive, or keep it elegant with white nonpareils for that bridal vibe.
7. Berry Trifle Cake Cup
Summer sunshine in cookie form! Imagine a buttery shortbread base topped with tangy cream cheese frosting and crowned with fresh berries macerated in just enough sugar to make their juices run. That’s this cookie in all its glory.
The base needs to be sturdy enough to hold all those toppings, so don’t skimp on chilling time. A hint of lemon zest in both the cookie and the frosting brightens everything up and makes the berry flavors pop like fireworks.
8. Chocolate Toffee Cake
Cake or cookie? Yes! This hybrid dessert combines the best of both worlds – a fudgy chocolate cake-cookie base that stays impossibly moist for days (if it lasts that long). Crushed toffee bits mixed into the batter create little pockets of buttery caramel crunch that’ll make your eyes roll back in pleasure.
The ganache topping is where things get serious. Pour it on while still warm so it self-levels into glossy perfection, then immediately sprinkle with more toffee bits before it sets. Patience is crucial here – let the ganache firm up before attempting to transport these beauties.
9. Strawberry Shortcake
Summer nostalgia in cookie form! These buttery vanilla cookies channel all the charm of grandma’s strawberry shortcake without the soggy cake situation. The cookie base stays surprisingly crisp even under that mountain of strawberry goodness.
Fresh strawberries macerated with a splash of balsamic vinegar (trust me on this) create a jammy topping that’s miles better than anything artificial. Fold some of those berries into stabilized whipped cream for the crowning glory that makes these cookies practically irresistible.
10. Caramel Apple
Fall fairgrounds in cookie form! These spiced apple cookies capture all the magic of caramel apples without the dental danger. The cookie base is loaded with cinnamon, nutmeg, and tiny chunks of fresh apple that create pockets of moisture and flavor.
The caramel topping is where patience becomes a virtue. Cook it just until it reaches that amber color for the perfect balance of sweetness and complexity. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt cuts through the sweetness and makes the flavors sing in perfect harmony.
11. Raspberry Lemonade
POW! These cookies hit your taste buds like a summer blockbuster – bright, bold, and impossible to forget. The lemon-infused sugar cookie base packs serious citrus punch thanks to both zest and juice, creating the perfect tangy foundation.
Fresh raspberry buttercream (none of that artificial nonsense) provides a berry blast that balances the lemon perfectly. The secret? Reduce fresh raspberry puree until concentrated before adding to the frosting for intense flavor without compromising texture.
12. Dirt Cake
Childhood nostalgia alert! Remember those dirt cups from elementary school parties? These cookies transform that playful dessert into a sophisticated treat that adults and kids alike will demolish. The chocolate cookie base is dark, rich, and just bitter enough to balance the sweet toppings.
Chocolate pudding mixed with cream cheese creates that silky “mud” layer that’s both tangy and decadent. Crushed Oreos on top provide the “dirt” element along with textural contrast that makes each bite interesting.
13. French Toast
Breakfast cookies are totally acceptable when they taste this amazing! These cinnamon-sugar bombs capture all the cozy vibes of Sunday morning French toast without the sticky maple syrup situation. Brown butter in the dough creates that toasty, nutty flavor that makes you close your eyes in bliss.
The maple cream cheese frosting is what takes these from good to unforgettable. Use real maple syrup (the expensive stuff) – this is no place for that pancake-flavored corn syrup imposter.
14. S’mores
Campfire vibes without the mosquitoes! These cookies bring all the nostalgic flavors of s’mores indoors with zero fire hazards. The graham cracker-infused cookie base has that distinctive honey-cinnamon flavor that forms the foundation of any proper s’more.
Chunks of high-quality chocolate (not chips!) create melty pockets throughout the cookie. For the marshmallow element, mini marshmallows get folded into the dough AND pressed on top before baking, where they puff up and get those beautiful toasty edges.
15. Chocolate Cheesecake
Cheesecake addicts, rejoice! No springform pan or water bath required for this hybrid dessert that combines the best parts of chocolate cookies and creamy cheesecake. The chocolate cookie base is almost brownie-like in texture – fudgy, rich, and the perfect canvas for what comes next.
The cheesecake topping is where magic happens. Whipped until impossibly light, then baked just until set while maintaining that signature tangy creaminess. A sprinkle of mini chocolate chips on top gets slightly melty in the oven, creating beautiful chocolate marbling throughout the cheesecake layer.
16. Lemon Cake
Sunshine in cookie form! These bright yellow beauties deliver serious lemon flavor that walks the perfect line between sweet and tart. The secret? Lemon zest, juice, AND extract in the dough for that triple-threat citrus punch.
The texture is deliberately cake-like rather than chewy – soft, tender, and reminiscent of the best lemon pound cake you’ve ever had. Cream cheese in the dough provides tanginess and ensures these cookies stay moist for days.
17. Confetti Cake
Party time, anytime! No birthday required to enjoy these celebration-worthy cookies that taste like the best funfetti cake in portable form. The vanilla-forward cookie base is studded with rainbow sprinkles that maintain their color during baking (cheap sprinkles will bleed – invest in the good ones).
Almond extract is the secret weapon here – just a quarter teaspoon gives that distinctive birthday cake flavor without tasting like marzipan. The vanilla buttercream on top gets whipped until almost mousse-like in texture, creating the perfect cloud for more rainbow sprinkles to nestle into.
18. Peanut Butter Snickers
Candy bar fanatics, prepare to lose your minds! These cookies transform the iconic Snickers experience into cookie form with incredible results. The peanut butter cookie base is rich without being overly sweet – the perfect foundation for the candy extravaganza on top.
Chopped Snickers bars get folded into the dough AND pressed on top before baking, creating pockets of gooey caramel, nougat, and peanuts throughout. A drizzle of melted chocolate and caramel sauce after baking mimics that candy bar shell and adds visual drama.
19. Cornbread
Sweet meets savory in this unexpected cookie that’ll make Southern grandmas weep with joy! These golden beauties channel all the comfort of homemade cornbread in handheld cookie form. Real cornmeal provides that distinctive gritty-in-a-good-way texture and authentic corn flavor.
Brown butter and honey create depth of flavor that elevates these beyond basic cornbread. The honey butter topping is non-negotiable – it slowly melts into the warm cookie, creating pools of sweet, buttery goodness in every bite.
