Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon holiday sprinkles

Frosting

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened (1 cup)
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • Holiday sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to form a soft dough.
  3. Add sprinkles: Gently fold in 1 tablespoon of holiday sprinkles evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Shape and chill: Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping into evenly sized cookie rounds. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape during baking.
  5. Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chilled dough for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and lightly golden, but centers remain soft. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Prepare the frosting: While the cookies cool, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until smooth and fluffy. Adjust consistency by adding a teaspoon of milk or more powdered sugar if necessary.
  7. Frost the cookies: Once the cookies have completely cooled, spread or pipe the buttercream frosting on top of each cookie evenly.
  8. Decorate: Sprinkle additional holiday sprinkles over the frosted cookies for a festive finish. Let the frosting set slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep cookies tender.
  • Chilling the dough is important to prevent spreading in the oven and maintain the thick Crumbl-style appearance.
  • You can customize the holiday sprinkles to match any festive theme or personal preference.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a small amount of milk to reach desired spreading consistency.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
