Ingredients Notes

The magic of these Crumbl Confetti Cookies lies in their simple yet flavorful ingredients. Let’s take a closer look at what you’ll need to make these showstoppers:

Butter: Use softened unsalted butter for the best results. Butter adds richness and flavor, making the cookies incredibly tender. Be sure it’s softened for easy mixing.
Sugar: A combination of granulated and powdered sugar helps give these cookies their soft, almost “melt-in-your-mouth” texture. The powdered sugar also adds a touch of extra sweetness.
Egg: An egg helps bind the ingredients and adds moisture to the dough, creating that soft texture Crumbl cookies are famous for.
Vanilla Extract and Almond Extract: Vanilla extract adds warmth, while a hint of almond extract gives these cookies their classic confetti cake flavor. Feel free to adjust the almond extract to taste or skip it if you prefer.
All-Purpose Flour: Provides structure for the cookies. Measure carefully, as too much flour can make the cookies dry. A kitchen scale is ideal for accuracy.
Baking Powder and Salt: Baking powder gives these cookies a little lift, making them thick and soft. Salt enhances all the flavors and balances the sweetness.
Rainbow Sprinkles: The star of the show! Use jimmies (the longer, rod-like sprinkles) instead of nonpareils, as jimmies won’t bleed into the dough and keep their shape during baking.

For best results, use a large cookie scoop or measure ¼ cup of dough for each cookie to achieve that classic Crumbl size.

How To Make Crumbl Confetti Cookies

These Crumbl Confetti Cookies are easy to make, with just a few steps to follow. Let’s get baking!

Preheat the Oven and Prep Your Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy – about 2-3 minutes. This step creates air in the dough, giving the cookies their soft texture.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, beating until fully combined. This is what gives the cookies their delicious confetti cake flavor.
Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
Fold in the Sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles until they’re evenly distributed. You want each cookie to be packed with color without the sprinkles breaking.
Form the Cookies: Use a large cookie scoop or ¼ cup of dough to form each cookie. Roll the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked. This gives the cookies their signature soft, chewy texture. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

In just about 30 minutes, you’ll have a batch of bakery-style Crumbl Confetti Cookies ready to enjoy! These cookies are best served warm for the ultimate soft-baked experience.

Storage Options

These Crumbl Confetti Cookies store beautifully, so you can enjoy them over several days or freeze them for later.

Room Temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. They’ll stay soft and chewy, just like the day they were baked.
Refrigerator: For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week. Bring them to room temperature or microwave for a few seconds before eating for the best texture.
Freezer: You can freeze the cookie dough balls before baking for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the baking time. Baked cookies can also be frozen and thawed at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy them.

Variations and Substitutions

These Crumbl Confetti Cookies are easy to customize. Here are some fun ideas to make them your own:

Seasonal Sprinkles: Swap the rainbow sprinkles for holiday-themed sprinkles to make festive cookies for any occasion! Try red and green for Christmas, pastel sprinkles for Easter, or red, white, and blue for the Fourth of July.
Add White Chocolate Chips: For an extra touch of sweetness, mix in white chocolate chips along with the sprinkles. They complement the confetti flavor and add a delicious creamy element.
Lemon or Orange Zest: Add a teaspoon of lemon or orange zest to the dough for a hint of citrus flavor. It adds brightness to the cookies and pairs well with the almond extract.
Mini Confetti Cookies: Use a smaller cookie scoop to make bite-sized cookies that are perfect for parties or gift-giving. Just reduce the baking time to 7-8 minutes.
Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. Be sure it’s meant for baking, so you achieve the same soft texture.
