Instructions
Make the Cookie Dough
Cream the Butter & Sugar: In your stand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This should take about 3–4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, pour in that glorious vanilla extract.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to your butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Overmixing is the enemy here, so stop when it’s just right.
Add the Purple Magic: Now, it’s time to bring in the color. Add purple gel food coloring a little at a time until you achieve that perfect lavender shade. Remember, we’re going for GUTS vibes, so don’t be shy!
Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This step is crucial, it prevents the cookies from spreading too much and ensures they stay thick and soft, just like Crumbl’s.
Bake the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into 24 small balls (about 2 tablespoons each). Flatten them slightly with your palm, they should look like little purple discs.
Bake for 10–12 minutes. You want the edges to be set but the centers to remain soft. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the Buttercream
In a mixing bowl, whip the softened butter until it’s creamy and dreamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This buttercream is the glue that holds our cookie sandwiches together, so make it count!
Assemble the Sandwiches
Spread about 1 teaspoon of buttercream on the flat side of one cookie. Add a dollop of triple-berry jam right in the center. Top it with another cookie, gently pressing down to create a sandwich.
Roll the edges in star-shaped sprinkles and dust the tops with edible glitter. This is where your cookies go from homemade to showstopper!
Notes
Chef’s Tips for Perfection
Chill, Chill, Chill: I can’t stress this enough, chilling the dough is non-negotiable. It’s the secret to that thick, soft texture we all love.Balance the Flavors: The buttercream is sweet, so the tartness of the berry jam is essential. Think of it like Olivia’s music, sweet with a little edge.Serve Chilled: For the full Crumbl experience, refrigerate the assembled cookies for 30 minutes before serving. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.
