Ghibli Crumbl Cookies

Instructions

• Cookie Dough:
• In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is fluffy and pale.
• Mix in a pinch of salt, the eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Gradually add the flour to the mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix.
• Divide the dough into portions, making cookie balls that weigh about 100g each. This recipe yields approximately 8 cookies.
• Place the cookie balls in the fridge for 40 minutes to chill.
• After chilling, arrange the cookie dough balls on a tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring there’s enough space between them. Gently flatten each ball a little, as shown in the video.
• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the cookies for about 14 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the tray.
• Frosting:
• In a mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
• Add a small amount of red or pink food color to achieve a light pink hue, mixing until evenly distributed.
• Decoration:
• Carefully separate the cream from the Mini Oreos, setting the cookies aside for decoration.
• Use a bit of the frosting or Oreo cream to attach the sprinkle eyes to the Oreos, creating your susuwataris.
• Using a spatula or piping bag, frost the cooled cookies, making decorative swirls.
• Finish by sprinkling star sprinkles and placing the decorated Oreo susuwataris on top.
