And to make the sweet almond icing, you need:

How To Make Copycat Crumbl Cookies

As I eluded to earlier, this Crumbl chilled sugar cookie recipe isn't particularly hard to make.

Honestly, it's about as easy as any basic cookie recipe that you've made in the past, so I know that you'll nail this recipe.

By the way, this recipe Crumbl sugar cookie recipe will make about 8-10 cookies. So, if you want to make more, just double or triple the ingredients to make some more delicious cookies!

Now, let's not waste any more time and make this Crumble Cookie recipe.

Step 1: Combining The Butter and Sugar

To start, preheat the oven to 350ºF (180°C), and then line a cookie sheet - or two - with parchment paper.

Next, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer - or stand mixer - until it's light in color, and the consistency looks soft and fluffy. And make sure you cream these two ingredients together, it's a necessary step to get the cookies super soft.

Oh, also, a pro tip is to leave the butter out at room temperature about 10 minutes before you start making the cookies, so it's easier to combine with the sugar.

Step 2: Adding The Wet Ingredients

After the butter and sugar have been creamed, add the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Then, mix everything together for a couple more minutes until fully combined.

Now, make sure you do not overbeat the ingredients, you don't want the butter to get too warm. 

Step 3: Adding The Dry Ingredients

Once the wet ingredients are combined, add the flour and baking powder to the bowl.

Now, this part is a little tricky so be patient - you'll want to mix the flour mixture with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until there are just no streaks left. And be sure not to mix past when they combine - overmixing the flour mixture can make your cookies harder.

Step 4: Baking The Cookies

Now that you have the dough, divide it into 8-10 cookie dough balls, depending on how big you want to make the cookies.

Then, arrange the cookies on the parchment paper prepared cookie sheet, and make sure to leave a little space between each one. 

Next, bake the cookies for about 8-10 minutes until each copycat Crumbl cookie is golden brown and baked to your desired doneness.  

Once they're baked, transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely.

Now, while those cool, you can make the icing.

Step 5: Making the Frosting

Ok, now it's time for the sweetest step, making the icing!

To make the icing, add the salted butter, powdered sugar, almond extract, and milk to a medium-sized bowl. Then, just mix everything until an icing/frosting consistency forms.

Step 6: Finishing The Cookies

Once the ingredients are combined and have created an icing, it's time to ice the cookies.

With that said, before you ice the cookies, make sure they're cooled completely. Then, when they are, you can spread the sweet icing on each buttery sugar cookie.

Finally, let the icing set for a minute or two, and then enjoy your chilled sugar cookies!
