🔪 How To Make Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers Cookies
These cookies are so easy to make! You will want an electric mixer with a mixing bowl, a spatula, and a cookie sheet!
This recipe has a serving amount of around 24 cookies. You will have plenty for a delicious treat after dinner or to bring to a small party.
- Preheat. First, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.
- Mix. Using an electric mixer, cream together ¾ cup butter (or a blend of butter and shortening) with 1 cup sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light. Then beat in 1 large egg, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Add flour and candy. Next, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour in small increments and mix until you have a smooth dough. Gently fold in 1 cup Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers candies until evenly distributed.
- Roll into cookies. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Place the balls onto the baking sheet and slightly flatten them with your hands, leaving some space in between the cookies.
- Bake and cool. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-14 minutes, or until the bottom part of the cookies has only just begun to turn golden in color. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Serve and try these cookies with cold milk! You could also try crushing the cookies and adding them to a bowl of vanilla ice cream with my homemade whipped cream on top! Enjoy!
💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes
- I used two 5.5-ounce bags of Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers minis and had just enough candies to make these cookies.
- I recommend using kitchen shears for chopping up your Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers minis. Let the cut side fall into a small dish of granulated sugar so that the pieces don't stick together. Do this before folding the candy into the dough.
- I've experimented with baking these cookies as rounded balls, drop cookies, and (my preferred way) rounded balls that have been slightly flattened.
- The Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers cookies will continue to bake as they sit on the cookie sheet, so you'll want to give them about 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them.
🥡 Storing
To make these in advance, prepare the dough as directed and press it into a ball. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for a few hours (or even overnight). For best results, bake within 24 hours.
Keep any leftover cookies stored at room temperature in a sealed container for up to 1 week.
Freezing Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers Cookies
Wrap your Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers cookies in plastic wrap, then store them in a sealed container or freezer-safe bag to freeze for up to 3 months.
