Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes soft, fluffy, and well combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the wet ingredients.
- Incorporate Flour: Add the flour one cup at a time, mixing gently just until combined each time to avoid overmixing which can toughen the cookies.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Use a spoon to stir in the milk chocolate chips until they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
- Shape and Bake Large Cookies: For large-sized cookies similar to Crumbl’s signature size, scoop 1/3 cup of cookie dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-11 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges and slightly firm in the middle. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft inside.
- Shape and Bake Regular Cookies: For regular-sized cookies, use a medium ice cream scoop to portion the dough. Bake for approximately 8 minutes with the same visual doneness cues as above.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve once cooled or warm for a gooey texture. Enjoy your delicious homemade Crumbl-style chocolate chip cookies!
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough once flour is added to prevent tough cookies.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven’s heat characteristics.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure easy cookie release and even baking.
- For softer cookies, take them out as soon as edges are golden and centers are still slightly soft.
- You can substitute milk chocolate chips with semi-sweet for a less sweet option.
