Dulce de Leche Crumbl Cookies

Dulce de Leche Crumbl Cookies are big, soft, bakery style cookies filled and topped with creamy, caramel like dulce de leche. If you’ve ever had caramel candy, dulce de leche is similar, but even smoother and richer.

What makes these cookies so special is how they mix soft cookie dough with a gooey caramel center. When you bite into one, you taste buttery cookie, sweet caramel, and sometimes a little sprinkle of salt on top. They look fancy, but they’re actually easy to make at home with simple ingredients and a little patience.

To begin with, I’ll be honest: these cookies weren’t even supposed to happen since I was actually trying to make something appetite You know oats, nuts, all that good stuff. However, I suddenly spotted a can of dulce de leche hiding behind the peanut butter and that was the exact moment everything changed.

After about 30 minutes, the kitchen smelled like a bakery had exploded while my little kid was already trying to grab the first cookie straight off the tray even though it burned his fingers. He still said it was worth it.

If you’ve ever tried Crumbl’s cookies, you know they’re massive hold-it-with-two-hands massive.In the same way, these homemade ones have that same energy because they’re loaded with gooey dulce de leche, a buttery cookie base, and a soft crumble that practically melts in your mouth.

No judgment if you eat two or three since they’re honestly irresistible.

And finally, here’s the best part : you don’t need fancy ingredients nor do you need rolling pins. You just scoop then bake and then drizzle so that in the end you can simply enjoy.

What to Eat with Dulce de Leche Crumbl Cookies ??

I usually enjoy these cookies with a warm cup of coffee or a creamy latte because the slight bitterness helps cut through all the sweetness. They also taste amazing with a glass of cold milk, especially for kids or when you want something simple and comforting.

When I’m hosting, I sometimes add them to a dessert platter with fresh strawberries or banana slices, because the fruit adds a light, refreshing touch.

Ingredients :

• For the cookie dough:
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• For the filling and topping:
• 1 cup dulce de leche
• ½ teaspoon sea salt “optional, for topping”

How to Make Dulce de Leche Crumbl Cookies :

Step 1

Foremost in a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until light and fluffy. This step adds air to the dough and helps make the cookies soft then mix in the eggs one at a time, and add the vanilla extract. Stir until everything looks smooth and creamy then in another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.

Step 2

Next slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just until a thick dough forms. Don’t overmix or the cookies might get tough and cover the dough and place it in the fridge for at least 30–60 minutes. This helps the cookies keep their shape and stay thick while baking.

Step 3

Scoop out dough balls slightly bigger than golf balls. Make a small hole in the center of each one, spoon in a little dulce de leche, and gently close the dough around it then place the filled dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F “175°C” for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the center is still soft.

Step 4

When the cookies are still warm, spread a little more dulce de leche on top. Sprinkle with sea salt if you like a sweet and salty flavor finaly let the cookies cool for about 10–15 minutes before eating so the filling sets a bit.
