Description

Create thick, bakery-style chilled sugar cookies at home with this reliable recipe featuring a dense, buttery base and a signature swirl of pink almond frosting. These treats are perfect for parties or a nostalgic afternoon snack that captures the classic Crumbl experience.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 3-4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (for frosting)
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • Pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, cream together the softened salted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and almond extracts, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking powder on low speed until the dough just comes together.
  5. Portion the dough into 1/3 cup balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Gently flatten each ball into a thick disc using the palm of your hand.
  7. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until the centers are set and no longer shiny; do not let them brown.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to set their structure.
  9. For the frosting, cream the butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar, almond extract, and milk until spreadable.
  10. Tint the frosting pink if desired, spread a thick layer over each cooled cookie, and chill for at least one hour before serving.

Notes

For the smoothest frosting, ensure your butter is fully softened before mixing and sift your powdered sugar to remove any lumps. Chilling the finished cookies for at least an hour is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld and creates the authentic dense texture these cookies are known for.
