Ingredients Notes

The magic of these Crumbl Confetti Cookies lies in a few carefully chosen ingredients that make all the difference in taste and texture.

Butter forms the foundation of these cookies, providing that rich, indulgent flavor. For the best results, use unsalted butter, and make sure it’s softened to room temperature so it mixes evenly.

Granulated sugar and brown sugar are essential for the perfect balance of sweetness and moisture. The brown sugar adds a slight caramel note, while the granulated sugar helps achieve those perfectly chewy edges.

All-purpose flour gives these cookies their structure. Measure it carefully, as too much can make the cookies dry and crumbly. The dough should be soft but not too sticky.

Cornstarch is the secret to keeping these cookies soft and tender. Just a small amount creates a melt-in-your-mouth texture that stays fresh for days.

Vanilla extract enhances the cookie’s flavor and pairs beautifully with the buttery base. If you can, use pure vanilla extract for the richest flavor.

Sprinkles are the stars of this recipe, adding both color and texture. Choose bright, classic confetti-style sprinkles for the best look and flavor. Avoid nonpareils (tiny round sprinkles), as they can bleed color into the dough.

No special equipment is required, but a large cookie scoop will help you achieve that signature Crumbl cookie size.

How To Make Crumbl Confetti Cookies

Making these Crumbl-inspired confetti cookies is simpler than you might think. Follow these steps for a flawless batch every time.

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will ensure your cookies bake evenly and don’t stick to the pan.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. The sugars should fully dissolve, creating a smooth, creamy mixture.

Next, beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, and add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. The eggs add structure, while the vanilla gives that classic bakery-style flavor. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

Gently fold in 1 cup of confetti sprinkles, distributing them evenly throughout the dough. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.

Using a large cookie scoop or about ¼ cup of dough per cookie, form balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly for an even bake.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. They’ll continue to firm up as they cool. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Storage Options

If you have leftovers (though these tend to disappear fast!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. This will keep them soft and chewy.

To freeze, arrange the baked cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months. Simply thaw at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds for a warm, gooey treat.

For unbaked dough, you can freeze the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag once firm. Bake directly from frozen at 350°F, adding an extra minute or two to the bake time.

Variations and Substitutions

These cookies are wonderfully versatile, so feel free to experiment with different flavors and add-ins to suit your taste.

For a chocolate twist, add ½ cup of white chocolate chips to the dough. The creamy chocolate pairs beautifully with the buttery cookie base.

Looking for a holiday version? Use red and green sprinkles for Christmas, or pastel colors for Easter. It’s an easy way to make these cookies festive and fun.

If you love a bit of extra flavor, try adding ½ teaspoon of almond extract. It complements the vanilla and gives the cookies a slight nutty undertone.

For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend that includes xanthan gum. The cookies will still have that perfect chewy texture.

To cut down on sugar, reduce the granulated sugar by ¼ cup. The cookies will be slightly less sweet but still deliciously soft and flavorful.

Whether you’re baking for a birthday, holiday, or just because, these Crumbl Confetti Cookies are sure to bring smiles. Give this recipe a try, and enjoy bakery-quality cookies from the comfort of your home!
