If you have never heard of these special cookies then you may be wonder what is special about Crumbl cookies.

Crumbl cookies are a relatively new cookie idea that has really taken off.
The actual cookie store is not available everywhere, such as where I live, as of yet.

However, here is why the cookie company is skyrocketing in popularity.

These cookies are specially baked daily with recipes that are unique and tasty.
The cookies are packaged in pink boxes that are especially enjoyed on social media.

What makes these sugar cookies so tasty anyway?

The sugar cookies in this recipe have cream cheese added to them.
Some folks really like the cream cheese better than butter.

Cream cheese is added to cookies primarily as a fat.
As a fat, the cream cheese makes these cookies extra moist and chewy.
In this recipe the cream cheese is used in addition to the butter.

Tips for making cream cheese sugar cookies such as these.

It is best to use the full fat regular cream cheese rather than a substitute.
This is because it is the full fat that is needed to make these cookies so moist and chewy.

More tips for you

1. These cookies are shaped by rolling them into balls and then pressing them into a cookie sheet. If the dough get sticky on you then you can try refrigerating it for ten to 15 minutes.
2. I am using a cookie scoop to scoop out my cookie dough to make the cookies a uniform size that is also large enough to get frosted effectively. Feel free to alter the size of your cookies to your likings.
3. While this cookie is well a cookie, you could make this into something bigger. If you plan on making a giant cookies, you may need to bake it longer.
4. Do not be alarmed if the dough looks morelike a cake batter prior to adding in the dry ingredients. That is normal as it should NOT be a loose or sticky dough

How to make these Copycat Crumbl Sugar Cookies.

Step One: make the cookie batter.

Preheat your oven to 350 and prep two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, use a fork or a whisk to combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Set this bowl aside.

In a mixer using a paddle attachment, cream together the butter, cream cheese on medium until fluffy. This can take up to six minutes to do and you may need to stop the mixer to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl.

Bump the mixer down to a slower speed and add the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla and almond extracts. Beat this until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Slowly add the dry ingredients from the first bowl and mix until just combined.

Step Two: bake the cookies.

Use a large cookie scooper or ice cream scoop to scoop out each of the cookies one at a time.
Roll the cookie dough into balls between your hands before pressing the individual dough balls to about ¾ inch thickness on to the prepared baking sheets.

Bake the cookies for 13-15 min until edges start to turn golden brown
Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheet for a ten minutes before transferring them to a cooking rack.

Step Three: frost the cookies.

Once the cookies have fully cooled you can frost them.

To make the frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter on medium until creamy.
Then add the powdered sugar, extracts, and milk and beat on high for about four minutes or until creamy.
