Chocolate Crumb Cake Crumbl Cookie Copycat is a decadent, bakery‑style cookie inspired by the signature giant cookies of Crumbl. It features a thick, brownie‑like chocolate cookie base topped with a chocolate crumb topping for extra texture and indulgence.

Ingredients

  • For the cookie base: 1½ cups all‑purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅔ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup semi‑sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • For the chocolate crumb topping: ½ cup all‑purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 Tbsp melted butter
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt for the cookie base.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredient mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Using a large cookie scoop (about ¼ cup of dough each), place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet spacing them a few inches apart.
  6. Prepare the crumb topping by mixing the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder and salt, then stir in the melted butter until clumps form. Gently press the crumb mixture onto the tops of each cookie dough ball.
  7. Bake the cookies for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look a little soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • To deepen chocolate flavor, you can add 1 tsp espresso powder or use dark cocoa powder. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  • You don’t need to chill the dough—this helps mimic the thick, bakery‑style texture of Crumbl cookies. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
  • For best texture, avoid overbaking: the centers should remain slightly soft when you remove them from the oven. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
  • The crumb topping adds texture contrast and a “crumb cake” feel; pressing it gently into the dough helps it adhere.
  • You can freeze unbaked dough balls for future baking—then bake straight from frozen with an extra minute or two.
