What you’ll need to make Crumbl Cosmic Brownie Cookies
- Salted Butter – If you only have unsalted butter, just add an extra pinch of salt to the dough. Be sure to soften the butter beforehand.
- Brown Sugar
- Granulated Sugar
- Egg + Egg Yolk – Yep, you need one egg and one egg yolk for this recipe.
- Corn Syrup – This isn’t a super common ingredient for most cookies, but this is what gives the cookie that perfect fudgey, almost brownie-like texture that we’re looking for.
- Vanilla Extract
- All Purpose Flour
- Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder – I prefer Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder because of the deeper flavor and color, but regular unsweetened cocoa powder will also work.
- Corn Starch – This is what keeps the cookies extra soft.
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Chocolate Chips– We will use semi-sweet chocolate chips in the frosting.
- Heavy Whipping Cream– Heavy cream and the chocolate chips will make that creamy chocolate ganache frosting.
- Rainbow Candy Coated Chocolate Chips– I usually buy mine from Hobby Lobby or my local grocery store carries them next to the ice cream toppings but if you are hoping to snag some on amazon, Here is a listing for Candy Coated Chocolate Chips for you!

How to Store Cosmic Brownie Cookies
I prefer to store my cosmic brownie cookies in the fridge because of the heavy cream in the frosting. If you prefer to eat them warm, just pop the entire cookie into the microwave for about 8 seconds before eating.
Once the cookies have been in the fridge, the frosting will set up and then the cookies can easily be stacked without sticking to each other.
How to freeze Crumbl cookies
Freezing Crumbl Cookies is a great way to make them last longer. Simply place the cookies on a cookie sheet and freeze the entire cookie sheet for 1 hour. After the hour, the frostings should be hard which means you can now stack the cookies and place in a zip top bag without them sticking together.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
