Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop large balls of dough (about 3 tablespoons each) and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press down each cookie dough ball to slightly flatten it (they will spread while baking).
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Servings and Timing

Yield: Approximately 12 large cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 10-12 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Variations

Add-ins: If you like, you can add other ingredients such as chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans), coconut flakes, or even a mix of different types of chocolate (milk, dark, white).
Chill the dough: For even thicker cookies, chill the dough in the fridge for 30-60 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies retain their shape better while baking.
Vegan version: Swap the butter for a plant-based alternative and use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) instead of regular eggs.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them fresh longer, you can store them in the fridge for up to a week.
Freezing: To freeze the dough, scoop it into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze the dough balls for about 30 minutes, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. When you're ready to bake, bake directly from frozen, adding an extra 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
Reheating: To enjoy the cookies warm, simply microwave them for 10-15 seconds, or place them in a 350°F oven for 2-3 minutes.

FAQs

How do I make my Crumbl Chocolate Chip Cookies even chewier?

To achieve an extra chewy texture, use more brown sugar than white sugar, and make sure you don’t over-bake the cookies. Under-baking slightly and letting them cool on the baking sheet will keep them soft.

Can I use chocolate chips other than semi-sweet?

Absolutely! You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a combination of different types of chocolate for a more diverse flavor.

Why are Crumbl cookies so thick?

Crumbl cookies are thick due to a high ratio of butter and sugar to flour. Also, pressing down the dough lightly before baking helps them spread slightly but maintain their thick texture.

How can I make sure my cookies bake evenly?

Make sure your cookie dough balls are of uniform size, and space them evenly on the baking sheet to ensure they have enough room to spread evenly.

Can I freeze the dough?

Yes, you can freeze the dough! Scoop the dough into balls, freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container for storage. When ready to bake, just bake directly from frozen.

Can I make these cookies smaller?

Yes! You can use a smaller scoop (about 1 tablespoon) and reduce the baking time to about 8-10 minutes for smaller cookies.

What should I do if my cookies are too flat?

If your cookies spread too much, make sure to chill the dough before baking. Additionally, ensure that your baking soda is fresh and your dough isn’t too warm when baking.

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

While margarine can be used as a substitute, butter is preferred for the best flavor and texture. Margarine may cause the cookies to be less rich and slightly flatter.

How long should I bake the cookies?

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven, so don’t worry if they look slightly underdone in the middle.

Can I add other flavors to the dough?

Yes! You can add a teaspoon of cinnamon, a splash of almond extract, or even a bit of coffee for a fun twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie flavor.
