Step 1: Cream Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 2: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. If making Classic Pink Sugar Cookies, add the almond extract here as well. Ensure the mixture is smooth and emulsified before moving on.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. For Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies, also whisk in the cocoa powder at this stage.
Step 4: Gradually Add Dry to Wet
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies. The dough should be soft and pliable.
Step 5: Chill the Dough (Optional but Recommended)
For best results and to prevent spreading, cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. This step helps the flavors meld and the cookies maintain their shape.
Step 6: Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Using a large cookie scoop (about 1/4 cup), scoop generous portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
Step 7: Bake the Cookies
Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft. Crumbl cookies are known for being soft-baked, so avoid overbaking. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8: Prepare and Apply Frosting/Toppings (Flavor Specific)
- For Classic Pink Sugar Cookies: Once cookies are cooled, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and a few drops of pink food coloring until smooth. Spread evenly over each cookie.
- For Lemon Glaze Cookies: Whisk together powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle or spread over cooled cookies.
- For Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies: While cookies are still warm, sprinkle with semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped peanuts. For an extra touch, you can melt a tablespoon of peanut butter and drizzle it over the top.
