Ingredients Notes

These Crumbl Confetti Cookies come together with a few simple ingredients, each playing an important role in creating that perfect soft and chewy texture.

All-Purpose Flour: The base of our cookies. Use regular all-purpose flour for the best texture. Make sure to measure accurately, ideally by spooning the flour into your measuring cup and leveling it off.
Unsalted Butter: Butter gives these cookies a rich, buttery flavor and that melt-in-your-mouth quality. Let it soften at room temperature for even mixing, but avoid melting it as it can change the texture.
Granulated Sugar & Brown Sugar: A mix of sugars gives the cookies the perfect balance of sweetness and chewiness. The brown sugar adds moisture, while the granulated sugar helps with the slight crispness around the edges.
Eggs: Eggs bind the ingredients together and add moisture. For best results, use large eggs at room temperature.
Vanilla Extract: Adds a classic vanilla flavor that makes these cookies irresistible. Use high-quality vanilla extract for the best taste.
Baking Powder: Helps the cookies rise and adds a bit of fluffiness, giving them that perfect Crumbl thickness.
Confetti Sprinkles: The star of the show! Use traditional confetti or jimmies, as nonpareils (small round sprinkles) can bleed into the dough. Mix in as many sprinkles as you like to customize your cookies!

How to Make These Crumbl Confetti Cookies

Making these Crumbl Confetti Cookies at home is easier than you might think. Follow these steps, and you’ll have bakery-quality cookies in no time!

Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This takes about 2-3 minutes and helps create that soft texture.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
Mix in Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as it can make the cookies tough.
Fold in the Confetti Sprinkles: Using a spatula, gently fold in your colorful confetti sprinkles until they’re evenly distributed. Be careful not to over-stir, as this can cause the sprinkles to bleed.
Portion and Bake: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The centers may look a bit soft but will firm up as they cool.
Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Now, dig in and enjoy your delightful, bakery-style confetti cookies!

Storage Options

These Crumbl Confetti Cookies stay fresh for days, making them ideal for baking ahead of time or saving leftovers (if you have any!).

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Place parchment paper between layers if stacking to prevent them from sticking together.
Refrigerator: While not necessary, you can refrigerate the cookies for up to a week. Bring them to room temperature before enjoying for the best texture.
Freezing: These cookies freeze wonderfully! Place them in a freezer-safe container, with parchment between layers, and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Reheating: For a fresh-from-the-oven taste, warm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.

Variations and Substitutions

These Crumbl Confetti Cookies are fun to customize, so feel free to get creative with your mix-ins and colors!

Holiday Colors: Swap the classic rainbow confetti for seasonal colors – red and green for Christmas, orange and black for Halloween, or pastel sprinkles for Easter.
Flavor Twist: For a unique twist, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla. It adds a sweet, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with the confetti.
Add White Chocolate Chips: For an extra indulgent touch, mix in some white chocolate chips with the sprinkles. The sweetness of white chocolate complements the vanilla base perfectly.
Make It Gluten-Free: Substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to pick a brand known for baking, as some gluten-free flours can alter the texture.
Different Sprinkles: While confetti sprinkles work best, feel free to experiment with other types like star-shaped sprinkles or even small chocolate pieces.

No matter how you personalize them, these cookies are sure to be a hit!
