Soft Pink-Frosted Crumbl-Style Sugar Cookies
These aren’t just any sugar cookies! Infused with real almond extract and a touch of almond flour, they bake up soft, tender, and bloom with that signature nutty note. Topped with a smooth vanilla-almond frosting in perfect pale-pink, these cookies taste just like the famed Crumbl originals, and look too good to resist!

Ingredients
Cookies:
- 1 cup 225 g unsalted butter, room temp
- 1 cup 200 g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pure almond extract
- 2 ½ cups 300 g all-purpose flour

Instructions
Instructions
- Make the dough: Cream butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla and almond extract until smooth.
- Add flours: Stir in all-purpose flour and almond flour until just combined—dough should pull away from the bowl.
- Shape & chill: Scoop 12 balls (~2 tbsp each), flatten slightly, then chill 20 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Bake cookies 10 minutes, until edges just set but centers still soft. Let cool completely.
- Frost: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, almond extract, vanilla and pink coloring until smooth. Spread atop each cooled cookie with an offset spatula for a flawless, flat finish.
Notes
Hints, Tips & Substitutions
- Almond boost: For extra depth, toast the almond flour lightly in a dry skillet before mixing.
- Texture tweak: Swap ¼ cup almond flour for cornstarch if you want more tender, melt-in-your-mouth cookies.
- Make-ahead: Dough can be formed and frozen up to 1 month—bake straight from frozen, adding 2 minutes.
- Vegan option: Use vegan butter, plant-based milk, and a flax “egg” (1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp water).
