Notes
- Parchment paper works well, but a silpat mat works well too.
- Don’t overmix your dough - this results in tougher cookies.
- Always soften the cream cheese at room temperature before mixing. It’s the best way to make sure your icing is completely smooth, with no lumps!
- Let cookies cool completely before icing. If you add the icing while the cookies are still warm, it will melt.
- I tend to make my cookies a fair bit smaller than Crumbl because it’s so much cookie. If you want to make them twice as big, for the real Crumbl experience, add about 3 minutes to the baking time.
