Published on August 14, 2021 - Updated on May 2, 2022 by Chahinez 38 Comments

If you know me, you’d know that I have a soft spot for anything pink. So these pink velvet crumbl cookies are right up my alley!

If I remember correctly, the last time they had them was during the week of mother’s day but I could definitely see these being made as a Valentine’s day cookie recipe as well.

This is the best Pink Velvet cookie recipe ever!

After trying these the first time, my favorite part was the super-soft cookie texture and the almond hint. Now pair that with their creamy cream cheese frosting and we had ourselves a winner.

When making this recipe, I focused a lot on getting that cookie to be super soft and chewy so you can enjoy the flavor and texture of the Crumbl bakery cookies right in the comfort of your own home.

What is pink velvet and what does it taste like?

First off let me say that pink velvet has nothing to do with red velvet. You know, that bright red treat that’s made with red food coloring and cocoa powder.

Pink velvet is a more mellow flavor if you ask me. It is characterized by its vanilla and light almond flavors and of course the color pink.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

What food coloring is the best for these cookies?

I always say that gel food coloring is best when dying your cookie dough or frosting. The gel food coloring is more stable, and less wet so it won’t affect the texture of your cookie dough too much.

So if at all possible, stick with the gel food coloring. I use the Wilton brand gel food coloring since it is readily available at grocery stores and even at Walmart!

You have a few options when it comes to storing your pink velvet cookies.

• Storing the cookies unfrosted and frosting them as needed- If you are storing these cookies without the frosting, you can place them in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can store the cream cheese frosting in the fridge and frost them as needed or whenever you’re ready to enjoy them.
