    Crumbl Cookies Ingredients

    This copycat Crumbl Churro cookie recipe is easy to make and so much more affordable.

    ingredients for crumbl cookie recipe.

    For the Cookie:

    • Butter, softened to room temperature.
    • Brown sugar
    • Granulated sugar
    • Eggs
    • Vanilla extract
    • All purpose flour
    • Cornstarch
    • Baking powder
    • Baking soda
    • Ceylon Cinnamon, ground
    • Salt

    For the Cinnamon Buttercream

    • Powdered sugar
    • Butter
    • Brown sugar
    • Ceylon cinnamon, ground
    • Vanilla extract
    • Milk

    Note about Cinnamon

    Ceylon cinnamon is best for baking and sweet dishes. It has a more pronounced cinnamon flavor and less heat. It's actually true cinnamon, as most of the spice jars in the store at the cheaper Cassia.

    Cassia is not as sweet, has a slight bitter back note, and is more suited for savory dishes.

    When baking cinnamon buns like our Tik Tok Cinnamon Rolls, or this Pumpkin Butter recipe, Ceylon cinnamon is the sweeter, more flavorful choice.

    Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    How to Make Crumbl Churro Cookies

    See the recipe below to get the amounts for the cinnamon sugar mixture.

    Substitutions

    We used butter, but you can make these cookies with margarine or even butter flavored Crisco (vegan). If you don't have Ceylon cinnamon, go ahead and use the regular cassia cinnamon.

    Variations

    You can customize this Crumbl sugar cookie recipe by omitting the cinnamon in the recipe, then adding favorite mix-ins. A few variations are:

    • Crumble Funfetti Cookies - Omit the cinnamon, and exchange the cookies brown sugar for equal white sugar. Mix in ½ cup of funfetti sprinkles with the dry ingredients. Frost with Vanilla pre made frosting, or make our Easy Cream Cheese Frosting for the top of each cooled cookie. Sprinkle tops with more funfetti.

    • First, preheat the oven to 350° F. Line two rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.

    Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating & Topping

    • Prepare the cinnamon sugar in a small bowl by mixing the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Set aside to roll the cookie balls in later.
      ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon

    Prepare the Crumble Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Dough

    • Using a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add the vanilla, then the eggs. Cream until light.
      1 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 medium eggs, 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Use a whisk and distribute the cinnamon evenly. Add the blended dry ingredients gradually to the creamed butter & sugar bowl, using a hand mixer.

    Notes

    • You can use cream, half & half, or any non dairy milk for the buttercream frosting.
    • Ceylon Cinnamon is sweeter for baking that cassia cinnamon. Look for it labeled as Ceylon cinnamon, otherwise it is most likely the cheaper cassia. Cassia is better for savory dishes. Professional bakers prefer Ceylon cinnamon.
    • You can use this same copycat Crumbl cookie recipe, minus the cinnamon, as a cookie base dough for many other copycat crumbl cookies!
