Crumbl Copycat Recipe: Tres Leches Cake Cookie
Light, milky, and decadent — this Tres Leches Cake Cookie brings classic Latin dessert vibes into a perfectly portioned, melt-in-your-mouth cookie form.
🧈 Ingredients
Cookie Base:
½ cup butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups flour
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
Soak Syrup:
¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup evaporated milk
2 tbsp heavy cream
Frosting:
½ cup whipped cream cheese
¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla.
Mix in dry ingredients until just combined.
Scoop large dough balls and flatten slightly. Bake 8–9 minutes — just set, still soft.
While warm, brush cookies with soak syrup so they absorb flavor.
Let cool completely before topping with cream cheese frosting.
💡 Pro Tips
Chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking for a smoother top.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for authentic tres leches flavor.
Keep refrigerated and serve chilled — it’s even better cold.
