Why I Love This Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie
The best part about this copycat Crumbl cookie, besides its awesome chocolate flavor, is that it requires no chilling.
That means you can satisfy your cookie monster urge pretty quick!
These chocolate drop cookies come together very fast and can even be made with a hand mixer.
Plus, the ingredients are all items you probably have on hand.
Well, at least I do!
What You Need
Standard cookie ingredients:
Butter - Salted or unsalted is fine.
Brown sugar - I always use dark because I love the molasses flavor, but if light is what you have, no problems there.
1 Egg - Room Temp or run it under warm water if it's straight from the fridge. It mixes in better that way!
Flour - I always use unbleached flour unless the recipe uses cake flour. It is less processed and makes for a chewier cookie, which is how I like my cookies. All purpose flour will produce a softer cookie. However, my guess is if you compared them side to side, you'd probably have to be an expert to tell them apart.
Dutch Process cocoa - This gives the cookies a darker color and a more mellow flavor. That being said-I use Trader Joes cocoa which is not Dutch processed and no one was the wiser.
Baking Soda and Salt - adds flavor and the soda allows the cookies to spread. In Colorado I use about half the amount called for.
Chocolate Chips - I used a combination of Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips and Nestles semi-sweet chips. So good!
Want To Know More?
I'll be honest. I've only had Crumble cookies once, but I have to say, they were very good! However at about $5 a cookie I'd rather make my own and have a few dozen! I can't tell you if this is the exact recipe, but Crumbl cookies are known for their thick, giant cookies with soft insides.
Crumbl cookies have so many flavors and they bring out new ones each month. Some of their flavors are quite fun, such as cornbread and Dubai, but the classic flavors such as milk chocolate chip and pink sugar cookies are supposed to be always available.
It seems every cook has a different answer! However to me it would be overmixing. That adds more air to the dough which makes for a tough cookie or it can cause the cookies to rise to much and then fall flat. STOP your mixer as soon as the flour is mixed in. And you can even add the chocolate chips while adding the flour, to avoid overmixing.
Storing Chocolate Crumbl Cookies
These drop cookies are easily stored in sealed Zip-lock bags at room temperature for up to a week. They stay moist and chewy for awhile! In fact, many people wonder how to store their copycat Crumbl cookie for maximum freshness.
Cookie dough can also be portioned and frozen in dough balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and flash frozen in about 1-2 hours. Remove from baking sheet and place in an airtight container and bake when needed. They last 3-6 months in the freezer.
Don't forget to add about 2-3 minutes for extra baking time when baking frozen.
Also add the baking directions to the bag so you don't forget what temperature to bake at!
I also freeze cookies after baking, especially around the holiday time. That way I can pull them out and serve them quite quickly. The only drawback to this method is the cookie thief who steals them from the freezer, thereby decreasing the cookies I thought I had frozen.
If you love chocolate, I implore you to bake these chocolate cookies. Additionally, baking a copycat Crumbl cookie at home is easier than you might think.
This is about the easiest cookie recipe I've ever made, with little that can go wrong.
Cleanup is quick and can be done while the cookies are baking.
So if your mouth is watering now, go ahead and make these chocolate chocolate chip cookies.
Be sure to have a tall glass of cold milk standing by!
