Ingredients
Scale
-
- For the Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- Red or green food coloring (optional)
- Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract; mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop large dough balls (about 3 tablespoons each) and gently flatten the tops to create thick cookies.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Let cookies cool completely before frosting.
- To make the frosting, beat butter until creamy, then add powdered sugar, vanilla, almond extract, and cream.
- Whip until smooth and fluffy; add food coloring if desired.
- Spread frosting generously on cooled cookies and top with festive sprinkles.
Notes
For the perfect Crumbl texture, do not overbake—cookies should stay soft and thick. Chill dough for 20 minutes if cookies spread too much. Add peppermint extract for a holiday twist. Frosted cookies store well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
