Here are the directions that you need to follow to complete this recipe:
-
For the first step, you need to preheat the oven to 350. Now, you need to add all of the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar to a stand mixer. Mix everything together for 2-3 minutes. Now, you need to add all of the eggs and vanilla, and mix again.
-
For the next step, you need to add in all of the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix everything together until just combined.
-
Next, you need to combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. For Crumbl sized cookies, scoop 1/2 cup of dough and roll it into a ball. Drop the dough into the bowl with cinnamon and sugar and roll to coat the entire ball.
-
Add up to 6 cookies on a normal sized cookie sheet. Flatten the dough balls slightly. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Cookies should look just set, possibly still slightly doughy. This is perfect. Let the cookies cool completely.
-
While the cookies cool, make the frosting. Combine butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer and mix for 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and mix another two minutes.
-
Pipe frosting onto each cookie and dust with extra cinnamon sugar. Enjoy!
