What is a crumbl cookie?
Crumbl cookies have recently just hit the scene! The famous Instagram account of this famous cookie has created a massive trend to foodies and influencers alike. To give you some detail, the crumbl cookie is a soft and buttery cookie and literally crumbles in each bite. It is quite literally the opposite of the traditional chocolate chip cookie. The texture is very light, soft and it breaks easily. The cookie itself isn’t too sweet, that’s why adding the frosting really makes the cookie.Any flavour can be added to the cookie and the frosting. For this recipe I made a cream cheese chocolate frosting.
Tips for these easy double chocolate fudge crumbl cookies:
This recipe is very easy to follow and it’s your standard “add wet to dry ingredients” method. One of the main crucial ingredients in this recipe is cream of tartar. The role of cream of tartar is to prevent crystallisation, which provides a very soft cookie.
- Ideally if you can use a stand mixer, I would suggest you do. The mixing of the butter and sugars is very important. You need to attain a very creamy and soft mixture. I like to keep my speed at a medium pace and continuously scrape down the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.
- I used normal light brown sugar for this recipe, not packed brown sugar.
- For most cookie recipes you can just ice-cream scoop the batter on to the tray. For a crumbl cookie you ned to flatten the cookie in order for it to cook through. With regards to this recipe, I used the back of a cup to flatten it out to 1/2 inch thickness.
- After you remove your cookies from the oven, allow them to cool completely. Once they are cooled, you can apply your frosting with a spoon or piping bag.
