Crumbl is taking the world by storm and with this Copycat Crumbl Muddy Buddy Cookies Recipe, you can bring those giant, buttery cookies home any day of the week.
I swear I find myself craving Crumbl Cookies and Chick-fil-A on Sundays when they are both closed. Does that happen to anyone else?
Nonetheless. that is what originally prompted me to start making Copycat Recipes and the rest is history.
What is the Crumbl Muddy Buddy Cookie?
Crumbl describes the muddy buddy cookie as a warm peanut butter cookie topped with a melty pool of milk chocolate, Muddy Buddies™ pieces, and finished with the PRETTIEST sprinkle of powdered sugar.
It is a fan favorite and now, you can make it at home for the entire family!
Ingredients For Homemade Crumbl Muddy Buddy Cookies
For The Cookies:
- Peanut butter – I prefer the smooth and creamy kind as it’s easier to mix
- Unsalted sweet cream butter, softened – Make sure this is at room temperature
- Light brown sugar
- Granulated Sugar – Just regular white sugar is fine
- Large eggs – Make sure these are at room temperature as well
- Pure vanilla extract
- Flour – All purpose flour is all you need
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Cornstarch
- Kosher salt
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips – I prefer the Ghirardelli brand
- Heavy whipping cream
- Large piping bag with large round tip – This helps get that perfect Crumbl frosting swirl
- Peanut butter muddy buddies
- Powdered sugar to dust on top
How to Make Copycat Crumbl Muddy Buddy Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats
Using a standing mixer, beat the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and regular sugar until creamy. Push down sides as needed.
Beat in eggs, 1 at a time until combined
Beat in the vanilla extract
Whisk the dry ingredients into a medium bowl then gradually beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough into your hands and roll into a ball.
Place the dough balls onto a cookie sheet and lightly press them into a thick round disk
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly brown on the sides
Allow to cool completely before removing from cookie sheet
Using a small pot, bring the heavy whipping cream to a simmer and pour over the chocolate chips
Allow to sit for a minute before whisking until smooth
Allow to sit for 10 minutes to thicken before scooping into the piping bag
Once the ganache is in the piping bag, pipe tight spirals on the top of the cookies
Place a few muddy buddies on top of the ganache
Dust powdered sugar on the top of the cookies
Serve and Enjoy!
