Ingredients

Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs at room temperature
3 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Almond Frosting

1/2 cup butter softened to room temperature (can use salted or unsalted)
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream, if needed
pink food coloring you only need a couple drops

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Make cookies. Cream butter and sugar in stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment for 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla, and almond extract and mix until well combined. Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until combined.
Using a 1/3 measuring cup, portion the dough into round balls. Place about 6 balls of dough on a parchment or baking mat lined baking sheet. Using the palm of your hand, press down gently on the top of the cookie, so that the dough is like a thick disc. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are no longer shiny.
Remove from oven and let cool on pan for 5 mins then transfer to wire rack to cool completely
Make frosting: cream butter. Add the powdered sugar, almond extract, cream, and a drop of pink food coloring. Beat until smooth.
Frost the tops of each cookie. These cookies are normally served chilled at Crumbl.

Notes

Butter: If you're using salted butter to make the cookies, you can eliminate the 1/4 tsp salt.

Pink food coloring: I use a pink gel food coloring, but you can use a regular neon pink food coloring.

Sugar cookie dough balls: You can make the cookie dough balls smaller if you'd like, just watch the cookies as they bake and adjust the baking time as needed. Flatten the cookie dough balls more if you want a flatter sugar cookie.

Storing: Store the frosted sugar cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for the full Crumbl effect. If stored in the fridge they will last 7 days. These cookies can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.

Freezing: You can freeze the cookie dough balls in a freezer-safe bag or container for 2 months. When ready to bake, remove them from the freezer and bake frozen but add a few more minutes to the bake time. You can also thaw the dough balls in the fridge overnight and then bake the following day.

Make ahead: The frosting can be made several days in advance. Store in the fridge in an airtight container and then bring it to room temperature before frosting the cookies.
