Calories: 384kcal
Ingredients
For the cookies
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup neutral oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For the Frosting
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pink food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add the softened butter and granulated sugar to the bowl. Cream until smooth.
- Add the oil, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until fully incorporated, scraping the bowl to ensure everything is evenly combined.
- Add the flour, cream of tartar, salt, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Use a large cookie scoop to divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the centers are set and the edges are just firm. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets.
- For the frosting, add the softened butter and powdered sugar to a stand mixer. Mix on low speed until combined.
- Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, milk or cream, and pink food coloring. Mix on low until incorporated, then increase to medium speed and beat for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookies and serve.

Notes
Chef Jenn’s Recipe Notes
- Almond extract is the key to these pink sugar cookies; don’t skip it if you want true Crumbl-style flavor. I’ve tested this recipe with almond extract and vanilla extract, and the most authentic flavor comes from almond extract.
- Do not overbake. The cookies should look slightly underdone in the center. They’ll continue cooking a minute more but these cookies should be soft, not crisp.
- You can pop the cookies into the fridge to cool before icing. Don’t ice them warm or you’ll get melted icing.
- Frost your Crumbl cookies with an offset spatula for the easiest spreading.
