Ingredients Notes

To make these Crumbl-inspired Confetti Cookies, you’ll need a mix of basic baking ingredients and, of course, a generous helping of rainbow sprinkles.

Butter: The base of these cookies starts with softened, unsalted butter. Using butter gives them that classic rich flavor and soft texture. If you only have salted butter on hand, reduce the added salt by half.
Granulated Sugar and Powdered Sugar: Using a combination of granulated sugar and powdered sugar creates a soft, tender texture. Powdered sugar has cornstarch, which contributes to the delicate crumb and melt-in-your-mouth feel.
All-Purpose Flour: Regular all-purpose flour is perfect for these cookies. It provides structure while keeping them soft. Be sure to measure carefully to avoid overly dense cookies.
Vanilla and Almond Extracts: Both vanilla extract and a hint of almond extract add wonderful flavor to the cookies, giving them a bakery-quality taste. Don’t skip the almond extract – it makes a big difference!
Rainbow Sprinkles: The star of the show! Look for jimmies (the rod-shaped sprinkles) rather than nonpareils (the tiny round ones), as they hold up better in the dough and don’t bleed as much during baking.
Eggs: Eggs add moisture and help the cookies rise just a bit to keep them soft and chewy.

No special equipment is required, but a stand mixer or hand mixer will make the mixing process much easier.

How To Make These Crumbl Confetti Cookies

Creating these beautiful confetti cookies is simple and fun. Follow these steps to get that perfect Crumbl texture and flavor!

Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step helps to aerate the dough, giving the cookies a soft texture.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon of almond extract. Mix until everything is well combined. The almond extract adds that signature Crumbl cookie flavor, so don’t skip it!
Mix in the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
Fold in the Sprinkles: Gently fold in ¾ cup of rainbow sprinkles, distributing them evenly throughout the dough. Using too many sprinkles can make the dough hard to work with, so keep it to about ¾ cup.
Portion and Shape the Cookies: Scoop out about ¼ cup of dough for each cookie, rolling it into a ball and placing it onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie, as they’ll spread slightly during baking.
Bake and Cool: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and slightly golden. They may look underbaked in the center, but they’ll continue to cook as they cool. Let them rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies are ready to enjoy right out of the oven but are equally delicious at room temperature.

Storage Options

These Crumbl Confetti Cookies are perfect for making ahead or enjoying over a few days. Here’s how to store them for the best freshness.

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. They’ll stay soft and delicious!
Freezing: To freeze, arrange cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 3 months.
Reheating: To enjoy a warm cookie, microwave a room temperature cookie for 10-15 seconds, or pop a frozen cookie in the microwave for 20-25 seconds. This will bring back that fresh-baked softness!

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this Crumbl Confetti Cookie recipe is its versatility! Here are a few ideas for customizing your cookies to suit different tastes.

Change the Sprinkles: Use different colors or seasonal sprinkles for holidays like Christmas, Halloween, or Valentine’s Day.
Add White Chocolate Chips: For an extra indulgent touch, try adding ½ cup of white chocolate chips. They add a creamy sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the sprinkles.
Gluten-Free Option: Substitute 1:1 gluten-free baking flour for the all-purpose flour to make these cookies gluten-free. Be sure the flour blend includes xanthan gum for the best texture.
Make It a Sugar Cookie Base: For a less sprinkle-heavy option, reduce the sprinkles to ¼ cup and add a bit of lemon zest for a refreshing twist.
Almond-Free: If you’re not a fan of almond extract or have an allergy, simply increase the vanilla extract to 1 ½ teaspoons for a delicious, nut-free alternative.

Experimenting with different add-ins and flavors can make these cookies even more fun to bake and share. Enjoy tweaking the recipe to create your ideal cookie!

There you have it! This Crumbl Confetti Cookie recipe brings the joy and excitement of a bakery favorite right into your kitchen. Perfectly soft, chewy, and loaded with sprinkles, these cookies are a guaranteed hit with anyone who tries them.
