These copycat Crumbl cookies are HUGE, buttery, and loaded with melty chocolate chips. Fresh out of the oven, they just might be even better than the real deal. Bake a batch, do a taste test, and let me know if you like these better!
A Reader’s Review
Decided to try a new cookie recipe for a picnic… all anyone talked about for the next week was how good these were! (And they’ve already been requested for our next gathering)

The Ultimate Cookie Glow-Up
- Bake Hot & Fast: I use a hotter oven and bake for less time. This makes the edges crisp and the middle soft and gooey.
- Skip the Long Lines & High Price Tag: Enjoy a whole dozen warm from your oven, without waiting in line or paying $5 per cookie.
- Authentic Ingredients: We cracked the code! Crumbl uses real butter (not shortening) for that rich, buttery flavor, and we use the exact same brand of chocolate chips they do. That’s why these taste spot-on.
Ingredients for Copycat Crumbl Cookies
- Use Good Quality Chocolate Chips: Guittard is the brand to use! These chocolate chips are the exact ones that Crumbl uses!
How to Make Copycat Crumbl Cookies

- Cream Butter and Sugars: Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. Beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes until it becomes pale and fluffy. This helps the sugar melt in. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture until it is fully absorbed. Don’t over-mix; too much mixing makes the cookies dense and tough.
- Stir in the Chocolate Chips: Turn off the mixer and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure all the flour is incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Measure the Dough: Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to scoop the cookie dough into balls, or for more accuracy, weigh the dough into 110-gram portions and roll it into balls. Split each cookie dough ball in half.
- Reshape and Bake: Press the halves back together with the split side facing out for extra texture. Place on prepared baking sheets, 3 inches apart. Bake 12–14 minutes, until edges and tops are lightly browned but centers still look underbaked. Let the cookies rest on the pan for 5 minutes to finish baking, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Serve copycat Crumbl cookies warm for the most authentic experience!
Alyssa’s Pro Tips
- Top with Chips: When the copycat Crumbl cookies come out of the oven, press a few extra chocolate chips on top for that pretty, bakery-style look.
- Chill if Necessary: Chill the portioned dough for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.

Copycat Crumbl Chocolate Chip Cookies
These oversized, buttery cookies are loaded with melty chocolate chips and taste just like the famous Crumbl version, maybe even better!
Equipment
- 1 Stand Mixer
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips Guittard brand for the most accurate taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 or 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Beat 1 ½ cup unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 ½ cup packed light brown sugar with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes until it becomes pale and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Add 2 large eggs and 4 teaspoons vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
- With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture until it is fully absorbed. Turn off the mixer and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure all the flour is incorporated.
- Stir in 2 cups milk chocolate chips by hand.
- Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to portion the dough into balls, or for more accuracy, weigh the dough into 110-gram portions and roll it into balls. Split each ball of dough in half and press the two halves back together with the split side now facing out. This will give the cookies more texture as they bake.
- Place the dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 3 inches between them. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly browned at the edges and on top, but still looking underbaked.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. This will allow the cookies to continue baking as they cool.
- Serve these cookies warm, room temperature, or chilled.
Notes
- Storing: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge for 7 days.
- Freezing: Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Freeze portioned dough for up to 3 months; bake from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes.
- Reheating: Microwave cookies for 10–15 seconds for that fresh-from-the-oven taste.

Decided to try a new cookie recipe for a picnic… all anyone talked about for the next week was how good these were! (And they’ve already been requested for our next gathering) ❤️
I love hearing this! I’m so glad you liked them, and it sounds like everyone else did too!
I followed the recipe exactly, the result was awful, the texture was like cake the cookies didnt look or taste like cookies and were overall very bad, really disappointing
I am so sorry to hear your cookies didn’t turn out!
Great recipe! Thank you!
can you show us the recipie converted to grams?
Do you have the recipe converter to grams please?
I followed the recipe exactly, mine came out looking ok but had the texture of cake and somewhere along the line all the flavor just disappeared. Idk what what wrong.
Question: Is it 1 cup of butter or 1 1/2? I see 2 different sets of ingredients. Thank you.
I usually make half of the recipe and they are great:) I made some tonight and it made 10 large cookies!
Do you think the recipe would still work if I halved it? I really don’t want 16 cookies.
Yes, that should work fine!
Thank you for this recipe! Question: Can I chill the dough balls before baking them? I try to make the dough ahead of time and then bake them once I am using the over to make dinner. I usually put the balls in the fridge hours and it works well because most recipes require chilling the dough, but I wonder if doing this would affect these cookies in any way.
Wondering the same.
Yes, you can definitely chill the dough before baking!
You didn’t give the amount of each ingredient to be used in your Crumble Cookies chocolate chip cookie recipe. Can I have it?
Thanks Tom
Hi Tom! All of the exact ingredient amounts are listed on the recipe card at the bottom of the page! Let me know how yours turns out!
These are, by far, the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever made in all the years I’ve been baking cookies. I did substitute one teaspoon of vanilla extract with one teaspoon of almond extract. Everyone that tasted them said they were amazing!
