I’ve had sugar cookies before but I’ve never had ones chilled and as delicious as the Crumbl Chilled Pink Sugar Cookies. This Crumbl Chilled Sugar Cookie Copycat recipe turns out delicious, super soft, thick sugar cookies topped with almond pink icing that rivals the originals that you can grab in the Crumbl store.
We have been obsessed with Crumbl cookies lately. We even did a Crumbl YouTube video about “Candy Week” at Crumbl a few weeks ago. Yep, the flavors were dedicated to candy flavors and they were deee-licious.
Since not everyone has a Crumbl next door, today we are showing you how easy it is to make your own copycat Crumbl Chilled Sugar Cookies.
While the flavors of the week change, the Chilled Sugar Cookie is pretty much a permanent fixture week after week. Sure, they modify it a bit from time to time to mix things up, but there is always some sort of chilled sugar cookie.
WHAT IS CRUMBL COOKIES?
Crumbl is a rather new cookie bakery that was started by two cousins in Logan, Utah in 2017. Cousins, Sawyer Hemsley and Jason McGowan set out to create the world’s best chocolate chip cookie. After some trial and error, testing ingredients and baking methods, Sawyer, Jason and their family opened up the first Crumbl store in Utah when Sawyer was still attending Utah State University.
Crumbl’s delicious cookies wouldn’t be complete without their iconic pink packaging! Crumbl’s boxes were designed to perfectly fit each Crumbl cookie side-by-side, whether in a 4-pack, 6-pack, or 12-pack box. The “4-pack” pink box — the brand’s most popular and notable — was developed in 2018, shortly after Crumbl sold its very first cookie.
They opened with just milk chocolate chip cookies and milk but quickly expanded to the rotating weekly cookie flavors that we know today. Crumbl’s award-winning milk chocolate chip cookie has always been on the menu with their chilled pink sugar cookie becoming a semi-permanent menu item soon after.
Since opening its doors in 2017, Crumbl has expanded to over 200 bakeries in 32 states nationwide, making it the fastest-growing cookie company in the nation.
HOW HARD ARE CRUMBL COPYCAT COOKIES TO MAKE?
Not hard at all! These cookies are surprisingly easy to make even though they look so elegant and taste so delicious when you are done. Plus, you don’t need an enormous amount of ingredients but I do recommend that you DO NOT leave out the almond extract which I believe is the secret ingredient in these cookies.
