- 2-3 tbsp (30-45 ml) heavy cream or milk as needed for consistency

Equipment
- Baking Sheets
- Parchment paper
- mixer
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring Cups & Spoons
Instructions
- Preheat and prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add eggs and extracts: Mix in eggs, vanilla, and almond extract until well combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Sift together flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet mixture. Mix on low until a soft dough forms without overmixing.
- Portion and flatten: Scoop out 1/4 cup portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on baking sheets, spacing at least 3 inches apart, and flatten each to 1/2 inch thick with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake: Bake for 9–11 minutes or until the edges look just set (not browned) and the centers are soft. Cool on pan for 5 minutes, then move to wire rack.
- Make the frosting: In a bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar in batches, then vanilla, almond extract, and 1 tbsp cream. Beat until light and fluffy, adjusting cream for smoothness. Tint with pink gel food coloring as desired.
- Frost and chill: Once cookies are fully cool, frost generously, leaving a slight border. Chill frosted cookies for at least 45 minutes before serving for classic Crumbl texture.
Notes
For maximum bakery vibes, chill cookies before eating and use gel food coloring (not liquid) for vibrant frosting. Almond extract can be swapped for more vanilla if preferred. To make smaller cookies, use a 2-tbsp scoop and reduce baking time to 7–8 minutes.
