How to make Copycat Crumbl Honey Bun Cookies

Cookie dough

In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.

Next, add in the eggs and vanilla extract and beat to combine.

In a separate small bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt with a whisk.

Then, add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture and stir well to combine.

Scoop

After that, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray it well with nonstick cooking spray.

Use a large sized cookie scoop to scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Then press the dough balls down into 1/4 inch sized discs.

Using a thick knife (like a butter knife) or a chopstick, make a spiral shape in the top of each cookie.

Chill and Bake

Next, place the sheet of cookies into the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.

Start preheating the oven to 350 degrees F while the cookies are chilling.

Then, remove the cookies from the freezer and place them into the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes or until the cookies are still soft and are just baked.

Glaze

While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze for the topping.

In a medium size bowl, mix the butter, sugar, honey, and milk with a whisk until fully blended and smooth.

Once the cookies have cooled, brush the icing over the entire tops and sides of each of the cookies. Let the icing set and harden before eating the cookies.

Serve cookies and enjoy!

Notes

To store Honey Bun Cookies, place them in an airtight container, at room temperature and they will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

If you want to keep them for longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat the cookies, simply microwave them for a few seconds until they are warm and gooey again.

Nutrition

Why Do I Need to Chill My Cookies?

Chilling the cookie dough helps to solidify the fats and prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking. This results in a thicker, chewier cookie with a better texture. It also allows the flavors to develop and meld together, resulting in a more flavorful cookie.

How long are honey bun cookies good for?

You can keep these cookies stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. For best results, enjoy the cookies within a few days as these cookies will taste best within 3 days or so.

Can I freeze honey bun cookies?

Yes! These cookies do great in the freezer. Each batch makes over a dozen cookies so if you want some now and some for later, freezing the cookies is a great idea. Simply place the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Can these cookies be made in advance?

You can freeze the cookie dough before baking and then when you are ready, you can bake and enjoy. To do this I recommend having the cookies already portioned before baking as it makes it much easier to go from the freezer to the oven. Keep frozen unbaked cookies stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
