How To Make Crumbl Copycat Milkshake Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter, sugar and powdered sugar. Cream on low speed until smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix on low until combined, scraping the sides often. Add in the flour, salt and baking powder and mix until combined.
- Pour in the sprinkles and mix thoroughly on low speed, scraping the sides with a spatula as needed.
- Measure out the cookie dough with a large ice cream scoop. Divide the dough between 8-10 large cookies and place on the baking sheets with plenty of room to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheets while preparing the frosting.
- Make the frosting. Clean the stand mixer bowl, then combine the softened butter, powdered sugar and princess cake emulsion. Mix on low until combined. Add in the heavy cream and mix on low until combined. Scrape the sides often and then bump up the speed to medium and mix until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag.
- Make the whipped cream topping. Clean the stand mixer bowl, then combine the heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar. Mix on low for about 2 minutes and then bump up the speed to medium and whip until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Once the cookies are cool, pipe a swirl of frosting onto each cookie. Top with a small dollop of the whipped cream. Decorate with additional rainbow sprinkles on top.
