My Version of Busch Stadium’s Exclusive Crumbl Cookie
This is the ninth in my recipe series where I recreate or put my own twist on some Major League Baseball Stadium Desserts.
This specialty Crumbl Cookie comes to us from Busch Stadium, home of the St, Louis Cardinals..
The description of the cookie sold at the stadium is: The specialty Crumbl cookie at Busch Stadium is the Game Day Cookie, an exclusive, stadium-only flavor inspired by the St. Louis Cardinals. It’s an original vanilla cookie with vanilla cookies & cream pieces, topped with red-and-white swirled cream cheese frosting and vanilla cookies & cream crumbs.
I created a vanilla sugar cookie using vanilla bean paste to get a real vanilla forward flavor and 2 egg yolks instead of 1 whole egg to give them a chewy texture. I then rolled the dough balls in crushed vanilla sandwich cookie (aka Oreos). I topped them with a cream cheese buttercream and some more vanilla sandwich cookie crumbs.
The recipe makes 8 large cookies.
I hope you give these a try, but if you are headed to the stadium to watch the Cardinals, you can get the real deal on the Main Concorse near section 136.
STAR BAKER TIPS:
⭐️Do not mix the cookie dough at too high a speed, we want a chewy texture not light and airy.
⭐️After placing the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet, press the dough balls to about 3/4″ thick. This will help them spread to the intended size.
⭐️Once frosted I like to store these in the fridge. When ready to eat, let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Instructions
Cookie:
- Place the sandwich cookies in a small food processor or blender and process into crumbs. Set Aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350℉.
- Place the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl if using a hand mixer.
- Beat on medium low (#2 on a KitchedAid Mixer) for 2 minutes until the ingredients are combined.
- Add the egg yolks and beat for about 30 seconds, until combined.
- Whisk together the flour baking powder and salt and add it to the bowl. Mix on the lowest setting until just combined. Use a large spatula to scrape the bowl and make sure all the flour is incorporated.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. I like to weigh the dough so that each portion is about 56 grams.
- Shape the portions of dough ibto balls and roll them in the vanilla sandwich cookie crumbs until thouroughly coated.
- Place them on a parchment lined half sheet pan.
- Flatten the dough balls to ¾" thick.
- Bake for 13-14 minutes.
Cream Cheese Buttercream Topping:
- Place the butter, cream cheese, vanilla and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl if using a hand mixer.
- Beat on medium until smooth and combined.
- Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl and beat until incorporated and the frosting is smooth.
- Divide the frosting in half. Add a few drops of the food coloring to one portion.
- Place a decorating tip with a round 1/4" oping in a large pastry bag.
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap flat on your counter.
- Place a line of the red frosting down thw middle of the plastic wrap. Place a line of the white frosting next to the red.
- Roll the plastic wrap to make a tube of frosting and twist the ends.
- Cut off one end to expose the buttercream and place it into the pastry bag. Squeeze thebag so that the buttercream goes down to the tip.
- To decorate the cookies, start in the middle and pipe a continuous circle to about 1/2" from the edge of the cookie. Sprinkle with additional vanilla sandwich cookie crumbs.
- Enjoy!
