Crumbl Cookie Recipe:
½ c butter, softened
¼ c vegetable oil
¾ c granulated sugar
3 T powdered sugar
1 egg
1 ¼ tsp vanilla
2 ½ c flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp cream of tartar
Cookie Icing:
½ c softened butter
2 c powdered sugar
2 to 3 T heavy cream or milk
½ tsp almond extract
Pink food coloring
Instructions
Preheat Oven and Prepare Dry Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cream of tartar. Whisk to combine and set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This incorporates air into the dough, resulting in a tender cookie. Mix in the vegetable oil until well combined.
Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredient mixture, mixing on low speed until just thoroughly combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can develop the gluten in the flour and result in tough cookies.
Scoop and Shape Dough: Using a ¼ cup measuring scoop, scoop the dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten the dough balls slightly with your hand or the bottom of a glass.
Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Keep an eye on the cookies, as baking times can vary depending on your oven.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the cookie sheet before frosting.
Prepare Frosting: In a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the heavy cream or milk and almond extract, blending until you are happy with the consistency. Add more cream or sugar as needed to achieve the desired texture.
Add Food Coloring: Mix in a few drops of pink food coloring until you achieve your desired shade.
Frost Cookies: Spread the frosting on the cooled cookies.
Chill: Chill the frosted cookies in the refrigerator for a few minutes to allow the frosting to set. This helps the frosting firm up and prevents it from smudging.
