• 1 cup granulated sugar

How to Make Crumbl Christmas Sugar Cookies – Thick, Soft, and Frosted

Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugar
Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and almond extract.
Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Add to wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 3: Form the Cookies
Roll dough into 12 large balls. Gently flatten the tops for that signature Crumbl shape.
Step 4: Bake to Soft Perfection
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes. Centers should look slightly underbaked—this keeps them soft. Cool completely.
Step 5: Make the Frosting
Beat butter, powdered sugar, cream, and extract until smooth and fluffy. Tint pink with red food coloring.
Step 6: Frost and Decorate
Swirl frosting over each cookie and finish with festive sprinkles.

Optional Twists That Take Them Over the Top

• Swap peppermint frosting for vanilla buttercream
• Add crushed candy canes on top
• Make half with green frosting for a two-tone tray
• Add ¼ tsp almond extract to the frosting for bakery depth
