How to Make Copycat Crumbl Pancake Cookies

Step 1: Preheat and prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking. Set it aside so it’s ready when you’re finished making your cookie dough.

Step 2: Cream the butter and sugars

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This can be easily done using an electric mixer or by hand with a wooden spoon.

Step 3: Add eggs and vanilla

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 4: Combine dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 5: Shape and bake

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten the cookie dough balls with your hand, a measuring cup, or glass.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Make the drizzle

Using a small pot, combine the brown sugar, butter and buttermilk and place on the stove over medium heat. Consistently stir the mixture until it begins to boil. Remove it from heat and whisk in the baking soda and vanilla. The sauce will foam and bubble up when the baking soda is added, which is normal. Whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside and allow to cool for 20 minutes.

Step 7: Make the buttercream

Using a standing mixer, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until

combined and smooth. Set it aside until the cookies have cooled and you’re ready to add it to your cooled cookies.

Step 8: Drizzle with maple syrup, top with buttercream, and dust with powdered sugar

Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle them with maple syrup, add a dollop of buttercream, and dust with powdered sugar for that signature Crumbl pancake cookie look and taste. Allow the maple syrup to set before serving.

Commonly Asked Questions

Q: Can I substitute the buttermilk with regular milk?

A: While buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and tender texture to the cookies, you can substitute it with an equal amount of regular milk combined with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes before using.

Q: Can I freeze the cookie dough?

A: Absolutely! If you want to enjoy these delicious cookies later, you can freeze the cookie dough in individual portions. Just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer the portions to a zip-top bag or airtight container. When ready to bake, simply place the frozen dough on a prepared baking sheet and add to the baking time by a couple of minutes.

Q: Can I customize the toppings?

A: Absolutely! While the classic Crumbl pancake cookies are drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar, feel free to get creative with your toppings. You can try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon, chopped nuts, or even a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch. Let your imagination run wild!

Q: Can I make smaller or larger cookies?

A: Of course! The recipe yields cookies of a medium size, but you can adjust the portion size according to your preference. For smaller cookies, use a smaller cookie scoop or spoon and reduce the baking time slightly. If you prefer larger cookies, use a larger scoop and extend the baking time as needed.

Q: How should I store these cookies?

A: These copycat Crumbl pancake cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to 4-5 days. If you live in a particularly humid climate, you can also place a slice of bread in the container to help retain their softness.

Q: Can I make these cookies gluten-free?

A: Yes, you can! To make them gluten-free, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend of your choice. Make sure the pancake mix you use is also gluten-free. The rest of the ingredients can remain the same.
