Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it creates those perfect oversized cookies that are both soft and chewy, just like the ones from the Crumbl store. The blend of brown sugar and granulated sugar gives them a rich, caramel flavor while the milk chocolate chips melt beautifully into the dough. Whether it’s for a party, a gift, or a treat-yourself moment, these cookies always impress.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 1/2 cups salted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups Guittard milk chocolate chips

Directions

I preheat the oven to 375°F.
I cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Then I add the eggs and vanilla and mix until the texture becomes light and creamy.
I stir in the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, making sure everything is fully incorporated.
I gently fold in the milk chocolate chips.
For each cookie, I scoop out 1/2 cup of dough, roll it into a ball, split the ball in half, and press the halves back together with the rough edges facing up.
I place six cookies on each baking sheet and press a few extra chocolate chips on top for that signature bakery look.
I bake them for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the edges start turning golden brown.
After baking, I let the cookies rest on the pan for about 20 minutes to set before serving or transferring them to a wire rack.

Variations

I sometimes switch out the milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet or dark chocolate when I want a bolder flavor. Adding chopped walnuts or pecans can add a nice crunch, and for a fun twist, I like to use white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. If I’m feeling festive, I even mix in some holiday-themed M&Ms.

Storage/Reheating

I store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If I want them to stay fresh longer, I freeze them—either as dough balls or fully baked cookies—for up to 2 months. To reheat, I pop a cookie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for that warm, just-baked feel.

FAQs

What makes Crumbl cookies so soft and chewy?

The high butter and brown sugar content in the dough helps keep the cookies moist and chewy. I also make sure not to overbake them, which is key to keeping the centers soft.

Can I make these cookies smaller?

Yes, I can! I just reduce the baking time by a few minutes and use a smaller cookie scoop. The texture and flavor will still be amazing.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Absolutely. I like to scoop and shape the dough before freezing. When I’m ready to bake, I let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while the oven preheats, then bake as usual.

Do I have to use Guittard chocolate chips?

Not at all. While I love the creamy texture of Guittard, I can use any high-quality milk chocolate chips or even chop up a chocolate bar for chunkier bites.

Why do I split and stack the dough before baking?

That step helps give the cookies their signature bakery-style look with those rough, craggy tops. It also helps the cookie bake more evenly with a thicker, softer center.

Conclusion

These Crumbl Chocolate Chip Cookies are my go-to when I want to make an impression with a sweet treat. Oversized, gooey, and loaded with melty milk chocolate chips, they’re everything a cookie lover could ask for. Whether I bake them fresh or keep a stash in the freezer, I know I’ll always have a delicious dessert ready to go.
