Copycat Crumbl Strawberry Milk Cookie ft. Pirouline
The Strawberry Milk Cookie ft. Pirouline is a soft, pink nostalgia trip that tastes like the milk left at the bottom of a strawberry cereal bowl — creamy, comforting, and just sweet enough to make you smile. This copycat version gives you that same melt-in-your-mouth cookie with its signature pastel frosting and a crisp Pirouline wafer perched on top. It’s delicate, fun, and picture-perfect.
Ingredients
For the Cookie Base
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp strawberry instant pudding mix or freeze-dried strawberry powder (for real fruit flavor)
A few drops pink gel food coloring (optional)
For the Strawberry Frosting
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp pureed fresh strawberries (or strawberry jam)
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For Garnish
Pirouline wafer cookies (cut in half for the Crumbl look)
Optional: sprinkle of pink sugar crystals
Instructions
Cream Butter & Sugars — Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy and pale, 2–3 minutes.
Add Wet Ingredients — Mix in the egg, vanilla, and strawberry pudding mix or powder until combined. Add coloring if desired.
Add Dry Ingredients — In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet mixture and mix just until combined.
Bake — Scoop ¼-cup portions onto parchment-lined trays. Bake at 350 °F (177 °C) for 10–11 minutes. The cookies should stay pale with barely-golden edges. Cool completely.
Frosting Time — Beat butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla, and salt. Beat until thick and smooth.
Decorate — Swirl the frosting on cooled cookies and top with a halved Pirouline wafer. Chill 10 minutes before serving for that glossy finish.
Pro Tips
Use freeze-dried strawberry powder instead of artificial flavor for a truer fruit taste.
Pipe frosting in a spiral with a large round tip to match Crumbl’s signature swirl.
For a milkier profile, add 1 tsp sweetened condensed milk to the frosting — it rounds out the sweetness beautifully.
