Crumbl Hot Chocolate Cookie Recipe is a classic. It’s one of those recipes that you’ve never seen anywhere else, but it’s always your favorite. It’s usually seen at bake sales, bazaars, and farmers’ markets around the country and throughout the holidays, but it also makes an excellent gift for anyone who loves chocolate.
This is my go-to when I need to make something special for some friends or family members on short notice. It’s a recipe you can always count on to turn out great, although I will usually tweak it a little. It’s just not the same cookie if it’s sweetened with sugar; instead, I use powdered sugar.
Warm milk and chocolate are the main ingredients in these cookies. You can substitute milk for the recipe’s half-and-half if you like. The cookies are a perfect combination of chocolate, sweetness, and a hint of buttery flavor. It’s hard to describe how good these cookies are. I always make a double batch because it’s hard to stop once you start eating one!
What is Crumbl Hot Chocolate Cookie?
This is a classic chocolate chip cookie made with dark chocolate and milk. Traditionally, this recipe is baked in large shape for a cookie bar, but I like to make smaller loaves for more elaborate cookie trays. I have found that half a pound of dark chocolate is perfect for this recipe, but you can always increase or decrease the amount of chocolate you like.

- Prepare Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Serving Size: 8
What You Need:
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 1-ounce squares of your favorite chocolate, cut into small pieces
- 3 sticks (12 ounces) of unsalted butter, room temperature, and at least 2 inches in length, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 4 ounces (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 3 eggs at room temperature, room temperature
What to Do:
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a small cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Step 2.
In the bowl of your mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light-colored and smooth, about 3 minutes at medium speed. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the bowl after each addition.
Step 3.
Slowly add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined at low speed. Fold in the chocolate.

Frozen or Fresh?
Well, this is a tricky question to answer. In general, though, I would prefer frozen. But if you want to eat them immediately, go ahead with the new version.
How to reheat?
As they are made from raw dough, it is best to avoid reheating them in a microwave. Instead, use a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes for soft and flavorful baked goods. The baking time may vary when you’re baking little cookies instead of large ones, so keep an eye on them as they bake.
