Ever bite into a Crumbl cookie and wonder, “How is it so perfect?” That soft, slightly chewy center, the rich pools of chocolate, and that iconic warm, buttery flavor are what cookie dreams are made of. I was determined to crack the code, and after many (delicious) attempts, I’ve created a simple homemade version of the Crumbl chocolate chip cookie recipe that brings that bakery magic right to your kitchen.
- Servings: 12 large cookies
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 11-13 minutes
- Cool Time: 5 minutes (on pan)
- Chill Time: 30 minutes (crucial!)
- Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes (includes chill time)
Required Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups sweet chocolate chips (extra for topping)
Step by Step Directions
Step 1: Cream the Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 1-2 minutes until it’s light, fluffy, and well combined.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients:
Whisk the eggs in individually, waiting until each one disappears into the batter before adding the next. Finally, blend in the vanilla extract. Mix until just incorporated.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4: Mix It All Together
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet butter mixture. Stir on low speed until everything barely holds together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5: Fold in Chocolate
Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold in the 2 cups of chocolate chips. The dough will be thick!
Step 6: The Secret Step – Chill!
Just toss some plastic wrap over the bowl and let the dough chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. This is the key to preventing flat, crispy cookies and ensuring a thick, soft, and chewy center.
Step 7: Preheat and Scoop
As the dough chills, heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 8: Shape the Cookies
Once chilled, use a ¼ cup measuring cup or a large cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll into large balls and place 4-5 cookies on each sheet, giving them plenty of space to spread. Press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each dough ball for that classic Crumbl look.
Step 9: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 11-13 minutes. The edges should be just set and lightly golden, but the centers will still look very soft and slightly underbaked. This is perfect!
Step 10: Cool
Let the cookies sit on the hot pan for about 10 minutes—they’ll firm up nicely before you move them to cool completely. This helps them set without becoming hard.
