The Story Behind the Cookies

Oh, how the simple sugar cookie holds such a treasured place in my heart! The story of these Crumbl Chilled Sugar Cookies began on a rainy afternoon, a rare moment of quiet in a usually bustling household. Missing the weekly treat from our local Crumbl, my daughter and I decided it was time to recreate the magic ourselves. Armed with her tiny apron and unending enthusiasm, we embarked on what would become not just a baking day but a beautiful tradition. Each bite of these cookies now reminds us of laughter, a sprinkle-covered kitchen, and the sweet simplicity of shared moments. This recipe isn’t just about cookies; it’s about creating memories that are as sweet as the frosting on these delightful treats.

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

For the Icing:

1. Preparation of Baking Environment:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cream of tartar. Set this mixture aside.
3. Creaming of Butter and Sugars:
   • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the softened butter with the granulated and powdered sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process incorporates air into the mixture, ensuring a lighter cookie.
4. Integration of Wet Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, ensuring each component is thoroughly integrated before adding the next.
5. Incorporation of Dry Ingredients:
   • Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough, which can result in tough cookies.
6. Forming the Cookies:
   • Use a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop the dough, then roll it into balls. Place these balls onto the prepared cookie sheet and gently flatten each one to form a disc shape.
7. Baking:
   • Position the cookies on the baking sheet, ensuring ample space between them, and bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 12 minutes. The cookies should be lightly golden and set when done.
8. Cooling:
   • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack to ensure they set properly before frosting.
9. Preparation of Icing:
   • For the frosting, cream the softened butter with the powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually add heavy cream or milk and continue mixing until you achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency. Adjust the consistency with additional cream or powdered sugar as needed.
10. Coloring the Icing:
    • Add a few drops of pink food coloring to the icing, adjusting the amount to achieve the desired shade.
11. Application of Icing:
    • Once the cookies have completely cooled, apply a generous amount of the pink frosting to each cookie.
12. Chilling:
    • After frosting, place the cookies in the refrigerator to chill, which helps set the icing and enhances the flavors.

Enjoy these Crumbl Chilled Sugar Cookies, and make some sweet memories with your loved ones!
