    Are you a fan of Crumbl cookies?

    These copycat Crubl cookies are in birthday cake flavor. They are a delicious cookie.

    Why would you want to make this copycat Crumbl cookie?

    If you love birthday cake or funfetti, you'll love these cookies! You can have them whenever you want to make them and you can save money by making them instead of buying them.

    If you live far from a Crumbl bakery store, you can save time and money by making your own. If you have seen gas prices lately, driving just to get cookies will add up quickly.

    Or maybe you don't have any Crumbl stores within driving distance and don't want to order them. You can still try the Crumbl cookies by making them at home.

    Hard to Find Ingredients

    Cake batter flavor is the hardest to find ingredient. If your local grocery store doesn't carry this, I've seen it at both Amazon and the online Walmart.

    Leftovers

    You can store leftovers in an air tight container or fridge for 4-5 days. You'll want to eat the cookies sooner rather than later for best quality.

    Equipment

    • Hand or stand mixer
    • Mixing bowls and spoons
    • Large cookie scooper (3 tablespoon capacity)
    • Baking sheets lined with parchment paper
    • Piping bag fitted with tip 10 or 12

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for cookies.
    • butter softened
    • granulated sugar
    • powdered sugar
    • egg brought to room temperature* (see notes)
    • vanilla extract
    • all purpose flour, scooped and leveled
    • salt
    • baking powder
    • rainbow sprinkles for rolling

    Cake Batter Flavored Buttercream

    • butter, softened
    • cake batter flavoring
    • powdered sugar
    • heavy cream

    How to Make

    Step 1: Place the egg in a bowl of warm water for 5 mins (to bring it to room temperature). Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

    Step 2: Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.

    Step 3: Remove the egg from the bowl of warm water. Add the egg and the vanilla extract and beat with a mixer until combined.
