How to Make Copycat Crumbl Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Let’s gather our ingredients and get baking together!

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is soft, fluffy, and full of promise.
3. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, beating until everything is nicely combined and smooth.
4. Mix in the cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
5. Gradually beat in the flour, adding one cup at a time, mixing until just combined. (Be careful not to overmix—let’s keep those cookies light and fluffy!)
6. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. For large Crumbl-style cookies, scoop out 1/3 cup of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. For traditional-sized cookies, use a medium ice cream scoop.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-11 minutes (for large) or 8 minutes (for regular size) until the edges are golden brown and the center is slightly firm. Avoid overbaking to maintain that gooey texture!
9. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy the heavenly aroma that fills your kitchen!

Delicious Variations to Try

• Nutty Choco Delight: Fold in some chopped walnuts or pecans for a delightful crunch that pairs perfectly with the creamy chocolate.
• Coconut Dream: Add shredded coconut for a tropical twist that makes every bite feel like a vacation!
• Caramel Swirls: Incorporate some gooey caramel chunks along with your chocolate chips for an indulgent, rich flavor.
• Seasonal Spice: Add a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg to warm up the flavors for those cooler months.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

• Make-Ahead Magic: You can make the dough ahead of time! Refrigerate it for up to 3 days, or freeze it for 2 months. Just scoop it out straight from the fridge or freezer when you’re ready to bake.
• Ingredient Swaps: If you’re out of unsalted butter, you can use salted butter too; just reduce the amount of added salt by a pinch.
• Cooling Tricks: Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them, to prevent breaking and ensure they keep their shape.
• Storage Solutions: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft and chewy. They’ll last up to a week (if they last that long!).
