Tips to Make Crumbl Sugar Cookies
- Make sure your butter is softened before mixing. It should not be melted, just soft enough to cream well with the sugar.
- If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking.
- Experiment with different extracts to customize the flavor. A little lemon zest can give it a refreshing twist!
Variation
For a chocolate version, you can add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients. You can also try adding chocolate chips or nuts for additional texture and flavor.
