Common Questions About Snickerdoodle Crumbl Cookies:

Do I Need a Piping Bag for the Frosting?

Yes! A piping bag will give your cookies a professional look. If you don’t have one, most grocery stores and local hobby stores carry them. Or, you can find them online. Check out the links I put into the kitchen supplies section down below!

Can I Use Gluten-Free Flour Instead?

Absolutely. Just swap out the all-purpose flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend. But remember, textures might vary. I haven’t found a gluten-free flour yet that will perform exactly the way regular flour does.

What Makes These Different From Classic Snickerdoodle Cookies?

They have all the delicious flavors you love from classic snickerdoodles, but with a special cream cheese frosting twist on top of the cookies. Trust me, it’s a game-changer! That frosting does something truly amazing to these cookies.

Storage

You’re going to fall in love with this awesome Crumbl snickerdoodle recipe. You might even find that it’s better than the original! 

Refrigerator
Keep the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. (Or just eat them. I’ll bet they don’t last long enough to store!)

Freezer
For longer storage, freeze the cookies in an air-tight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Tips

Get those cookie sheets ready. I would recommend making a double batch of these. They tend to disappear extremely quickly!

• For even-sized cookies, use a cookie scoop when forming cookie dough balls.
• Always preheat the oven to ensure even baking.
• Check cookies around the 8-minute mark. They should be soft in the center for that chewy delight.
• If you’re making batches, flash freeze cookie dough balls for about 15 minutes before baking. This ensures they don’t spread too much.

How to Make Snickerdoodle Crumbl Cookies

Don’t worry guys. This recipe isn’t complicated. Just follow my step-by-step process below and you’ll reach the finish line in no time. Mouth-watering cookies, here we come!

Cookies

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
2. Line your baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar.
4. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.
5. Switch the mixer attachment to the paddle. Add in the flour, cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl and the mixture is crumbly but presses together.
6. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Set aside.
7. Divide the cookie dough into 9 equal-sized balls. Roll the dough in the cinnamon and sugar mixture to coat.
8. Place each cinnamon sugar-coated cookie dough ball on your baking sheet. 
9. Using the bottom of a drinking glass or similar flat-bottom object, flatten the dough until it is about ¾ of an inch thick. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon and sugar mixture.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The cookies should be soft and chewy in the center so do not overbake.
11. Allow to cool to room temperature while making the frosting.

Frosting

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla.
2. Add in the confectioner’s sugar one cup at a time and mix until smooth.

Decorate

1. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip – we used 2D.
2. Starting in the center of the cookie, pipe a continuous spiral of frosting on top of the cookie, stopping just inside the edge so the jagged rim of the cookie is still visible.
3. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon to garnish.

Why You Should Make Snickerdoodle Crumbl Cookies

I love Crumbl cookies. They are just plain tasty. The thing I don’t like so much is that the locations aren’t close to home! That’s a huge advantage to making them on your own. It’s just easier!

• Modern Twist on a Classic: These aren’t your ordinary snickerdoodles. The cream cheese frosting elevates them to gourmet levels.
• Perfect for All Occasions: Whether it’s a holiday, birthday, or just because—it’s always the right time for these cookies.
• Instant Crowd-Pleaser: Be ready for these to disappear quickly at any gathering.
• Simple Ingredients: No fancy ingredients here, just pantry staples.

Variations and Add-Ins for Snickerdoodle Crumbl Cookies

Keep in mind, if you add or change things, they’ll no longer be Crumbl cookies. However, I won’t hold you back if you want to change things up. It’s entirely up to you!

• Peanut Butter Drizzle: If you’re a fan of the peanut butter and cinnamon combo, drizzle some melted peanut butter on top.
• Almond Flour: For a nuttier flavor, replace half the all-purpose flour with almond flour. Remember that this will change the texture.
• Cinnamon Sugar Swirls: Before baking, make swirl patterns with the cinnamon sugar mixture for a fun look.
• White Chocolate Chips: Mix in some white chocolate chips for an extra sweet touch.
