Ingredients Notes

The ingredients for these Crumbl Confetti Cookies are straightforward and easy to find. Each one plays an important role in giving these cookies their soft, chewy texture and distinct, fun flavor.

All-purpose flour is the base of our cookies, creating the ideal structure to hold those sprinkles and give that bakery-style softness. Make sure to measure it accurately by spooning it into your measuring cup and leveling it off.
Butter gives the cookies their rich, creamy flavor. For best results, use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature. This will help it cream well with the sugar, creating a fluffy dough that bakes into perfect cookies.
Granulated sugar and powdered sugar work together to create a light, tender crumb while adding just the right amount of sweetness. The granulated sugar provides structure, while the powdered sugar adds softness.
Vanilla extract gives these cookies their delicious, classic flavor. Opt for a high-quality pure vanilla extract if possible, as it will make a noticeable difference.
Rainbow sprinkles are the stars of the show! They add both color and a little crunch to the cookies. Use the longer, jimmies-style sprinkles instead of nonpareils, as they hold up better in the dough without bleeding their colors.

You won’t need any special equipment beyond a hand mixer or stand mixer and a baking sheet. Let’s move on to the fun part: putting it all together!

How To Make These Crumbl Confetti Cookies

Making these Crumbl Confetti Cookies is a breeze, even if you’re new to baking. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a batch of bakery-style cookies in no time.

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup easier.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter with both granulated sugar and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial, as it adds air to the dough, giving the cookies their light texture.

Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Then, add the all-purpose flour gradually, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Overmixing the dough can lead to tough cookies, so stop as soon as the flour is blended in.

Finally, gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles. Use a spatula to mix them in evenly without overworking the dough. You’ll want every cookie to be packed with colorful sprinkles!

Scoop the dough into 1.5 to 2-tablespoon balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For a true Crumbl cookie look, flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your hand.

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and just starting to turn golden. The centers should look slightly underbaked—this is what keeps them soft and chewy. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

These cookies come together in about 20 minutes, and your kitchen will be filled with the comforting smell of freshly baked cookies.

Storage Options

If you somehow manage not to eat them all right away, these Crumbl Confetti Cookies store well for a few days, keeping their soft, chewy texture.

Room temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. They’ll stay soft and delicious if you keep them sealed properly.
Freezer: For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies for up to 3 months. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.
Dough storage: You can also freeze the cookie dough before baking. Portion it into balls and freeze. When you’re ready to bake, add an extra 1-2 minutes to the baking time without thawing.

To reheat, microwave a cookie for 5-10 seconds to get that fresh-from-the-oven warmth!

Variations and Substitutions

The versatility of this Crumbl Confetti Cookies recipe makes it easy to adapt for different occasions and preferences.

Holiday sprinkles: Swap out the rainbow sprinkles for holiday-themed ones, like red and green for Christmas, or pastel colors for Easter. It’s a simple way to make these cookies festive!
Gluten-free option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. Many gluten-free flour mixes work well in this recipe and give nearly the same soft texture.
Add-ins: If you want an extra flavor twist, try adding white chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or a dash of almond extract. These additions bring a new layer of flavor to the cookies.
Dairy-free: Use a dairy-free butter substitute if you’re avoiding dairy. Look for one with a creamy texture, as it will yield the best results.

Whether you stick to the classic version or try a fun variation, these cookies are sure to be a hit. Don’t be afraid to experiment a bit—the possibilities are endless! Happy baking!
