Copycat Crumbl Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies! My daughter brought home a cookie from Crumbl the other day and she says to me, “mom, I am pretty sure that you can make a cookie that tastes even better than this one”. We all had a taste and they were pretty darn good. However, after I made these Copycat Crumbl Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies, we decided that we liked these better. The only problem is that it was really hard not to eat more than a few!

They are moist and topped off with a cream cheese frosting, then drizzled with raspberry filling. I hope that you will try them for Memorial Day this weekend. I promise that they will be a hit! We call them cheesecake cookies because the bottom is a delicious cookie made with graham crackers.

The next layer is a fabulous cream cheese frosting. After the frosting goes on, you will want to top it off with some raspberry filling or even some (Junket) Danish Dessert!

Whatever you do, make sure that you do not eat too many. Otherwise you might be like me and wish that you would have never started eating these amazing cookies!

Here’s the simple steps you’ll follow to make these Cookies (scroll down for the full recipe):

 

Cookies:

• Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool.

• Then frost the cookie

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

 

 

What Is the Best Butter For Baking Cookies?

 

• The biggest difference in butter is the amount of salt.
• For baking purposes, the Test Kitchen recommends using unsalted butter so you can better control the amount of salt that goes into the recipe.
• Salted butter is best for serving at the table with bread or to flavor a dish, like mashed potatoes.

 

 

What if I Don’t Have Unsalted Butter?

 

• Regular butter contains some salt, and most recipes take this into account.
• But if you want to use salted butter when the recipe calls for unsalted butter, you can decrease 1/4 teaspoon of salt for every stick (or every 1/2 cup) of salted butter required.
• (Or in the case of this recipe, you can decrease the salt from 1 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon).

 

 

 

Here are Some Secrets to Making the Best Cream Cheese Frosting:

 

• This may come as a surprise, but sometimes I do not use butter in my cream cheese frosting.
• Depending on what I am frosting, I decide whether I want to use butter or just more cream cheese.
• I usually end up changing the ratio of butter to cream cheese each time I make a recipe. (Maybe it just depends on my mood)!
• Sometimes I just feel like the frosting would be better without butter, or less butter.
• Of course, make sure that you don’t skip the cream cheese in cream cheese frosting.
• Also be aware that the amount of butter used changes the consistency of the frosting.
• Another best tip for the best cream cheese frosting is to make sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature.
• And finally make sure that your confectioner’s sugar does not have lumps in it (sift it if necessary to remove any lumps).

 

 

Can I Freeze Cream Cheese Frosting if I Have Some Left Over From My Copycat Crumbl Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies?

 

• I like to vacuum seal extra frosting and freeze it!
• You can always put your frosting in an air-tight container and put it in the freezer.
• You can keep it frozen for up to 3 weeks.
• After freezing it, make sure to allow the frosting to thaw in the fridge until it is soft.
• After it is thawed, whip the frosting up with a spatula before using.
