Can you freeze them without the frosting and frost them after they have thawed? I am making quite a few for an openhouse.
Chahinez
Absolutely!
Jessica
These seemed undercooked to me…I baked them an extra two minutes as well…everyone seemed to like them though…are they supposed to be a little under-done?
Chahinez
Yes! Since the Crumbl cookies are super soft, these cookies had to be a tad bit underbaked to keep that texture. The heat from the pan as well as the outside of the cookies will continue baking the cookies as they cool down.

This was such a good choice for a cookie recipe today. It’s my sister’s birthday. I landed up using my whoopie pie pan. I was worried they would spread out too far. It worked out so well. I used food coloring because I didn’t have the gel. I put it in before the powdered sugar. I have to say though you must get them frosted and into a closed container because they will dry out in a matter of a few hours.
Chahinez
YAY!! Love hearing this!! air tight containers are key!
Lori
Super delicious and easy cookie to make! One question though–what do you mean by “swoosh” the cookies when they come out of the oven?
Chahinez
Thank you so much! By that I mean take a larger mug or a larger cookie cutter and put it around the cookie. Gently swirl it around to make the shape perfectly round. This should be done as soon as the cookies come out of the oven while they’re still hot.

Oh. My. God. These were spectacular! The perfect balance of chewy and crumbly. The insides were SO SOFT and the outsides were JUST beginning to get chewy. Loved them so much. My family did too. The frosting was lovely and had just a HINT of cream cheese flavor which all and all really rounded out the cookie.
They were really fun to make too! I made them christmas themed by adding red and green funfetti sprinkles inside the cookie and a lovely green frosting on top. Excited to make these again 🙂
Regina
I’ve made these cookies twice and they are always such a hit!! I’ve made them using this exact recipe swapped with ‘Confetti cake’ cake mix and even mixed in two different types of sprinkles for the extra crunch. Everyone went nuts for them!! Highly recommend
Chahinez
So happy to hear you made these twice already! Thank you for sharing the sprinkles tip!
Amanda
Do you have a substitute for the pound cake?
I cannot find a store that carries a box of pound cake. Would a box cake work? Which flavor are you using? Thanks!
Chahinez
You can use a regular vanilla boxed cake mix, I haven’t tried it with that but I was told that you would ned to bake it a few minutes extra if you’re going to be using cake mix. My tip would be to try baking one cookie, letting it cool down, trying it, and then assessing how to bake the rest of the batch!
hope this helped 🙂

Emily

Chahinez
So glad to hear you made and loved these Emily! Hop you make these many times in the future 🙂
Have a great Sunday.

Delicious!! Not exactly like crumbl, I think the frosting could’ve been more rich of cream cheese and added some cake extract but still delicious! The cookie itself is very chewy and although they may appear interesting when scooping them out, they turn out good in the oven. And, this was super duper easy and fun! Putting on the frosting was my favorite part
Chahinez
Thank you so much for letting me know! Glad you enjoyed it : )
