I had the idea to try making your own Crumbl cookie after getting back from school and finding myself craving one. At school, we have a Crumbl five minutes away so naturally my friends and I indulge frequently. Once I got home I found out the closest Crumbl was a 40-minute drive and that wasn’t something I was willing to do so I was left with only one option. Try making your own Crumbl cookie, and I promise these results did not disappoint. 

This copycat recipe was so good, my family finished all of them in 15 minutes. The base is perfectly soft and has just the right texture. The icing is smooth with just a hint of almond that really drives these great flavors home.

This is a perfect recipe for college students who don’t want to leave the house, but still want that same great Crumbl cookie flavor. I highly suggest you should try making your own Crumbl cookie. These cookies are also great without the icing. Sometimes I find all the icing on Crumbl cookies to be a bit much, and if this is the case for you try making Crumbl cookies without the icing. The cookie itself is chewy and sweet you really don’t need the added icing.

To make these cookies I used my favorite sheet pan of all time which I will be religiously using forever. At the beginning of college, I bought the USA Pan Nonstick 3-Piece Sheet Pans Everyday Baking Set from Williams Sonoma and I use them every day. If you are a college student who plans on doing any sort of cooking or baking these pans are a must. I love how they have different sizes so I don’t need to use a huge pan for a small batch of something. These pans are also nonstick so parchment isn’t super necessary. If you try making your own Crumbl cookies these pans are must.
