Ingredients Notes

The magic of Crumbl Confetti Cookies lies in their simplicity, with each ingredient adding something special to the mix.

Butter forms the base of this recipe, adding richness and helping the cookies achieve that soft, tender texture. For best results, use unsalted butter at room temperature. This makes it easier to cream with the sugar and ensures even distribution throughout the dough.

Granulated sugar is used to sweeten the cookies, giving them just the right amount of sweetness. If you prefer a slightly less sweet cookie, you can reduce the sugar by a couple of tablespoons.

Egg acts as a binder in the dough, ensuring that the cookies hold their shape while baking. Use a large egg at room temperature for the best consistency.

Vanilla extract adds warmth and depth to the flavor. This ingredient is essential for giving the cookies that signature Crumbl-like taste.

All-purpose flour provides the structure. Be sure to measure it carefully; too much flour can make the cookies dry or tough, while too little may cause them to spread too much.

Finally, sprinkles are what make these cookies truly special. Go for rainbow sprinkles to mimic the classic confetti look, or switch it up with seasonal colors for a holiday twist. Avoid nonpareils (tiny round sprinkles), as they can bleed color and affect the texture of the cookies.

You’ll also need basic baking tools like mixing bowls, a hand mixer or stand mixer, and baking sheets lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

How To Make These Crumbl Confetti Cookies

Making these festive cookies is as easy as 1-2-3. Follow these steps to create your own batch of soft, chewy, sprinkle-loaded cookies.

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This step is important, as it incorporates air into the dough and ensures that the cookies will have a light texture.

Next, add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined. Make sure the egg is fully incorporated before moving on to the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this dry mixture 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 with a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough. Once mixed, scoop the dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after you remove them from the oven, so this step is key to getting that soft, Crumbl-style texture.

Storage Options

These cookies store beautifully, so you can enjoy them for days or even freeze some for later!

For short-term storage, place the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay soft and fresh for up to 4 days.

If you want to keep them longer, freeze the cookies once they’ve completely cooled. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper. Frozen cookies will last for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw them at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Reheating the cookies is simple – just pop one in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it warm and soft again, almost like it’s fresh out of the oven!

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this recipe is how adaptable it is. Here are some fun ideas to make these cookies uniquely yours.

Try chocolate chips instead of sprinkles if you’re craving a chocolatey twist. White chocolate chips pair especially well with the soft vanilla flavor of these cookies.

For a fun, seasonal twist, use holiday-themed sprinkles like red and green for Christmas, or orange and black for Halloween. This simple change can make these cookies perfect for any occasion!

If you’re looking for a richer flavor, swap out some of the vanilla extract for almond extract. Just a ½ teaspoon of almond extract will add a deliciously nutty, sweet undertone.

Want to go gluten-free? Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend. The texture may be a little different, but the taste will still be delightful.

Lastly, if you want a softer, cake-like texture, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the flour mixture. This small adjustment makes the cookies extra tender and light.

With so many ways to customize, these Crumbl Confetti Cookies can easily become your go-to recipe for any celebration. Whether you stick to the classic rainbow sprinkles or add your own twist, these cookies are bound to bring a smile to everyone who tries them!
