Crumbl Cookies Recipe
There are some days when the taste of a good cookie just makes the rest of the world melt away, and Crumbl Cookie Company never disappoints! Because Crumbl has a weekly rotating menu, not all of their selections are available when you want them. So, I knew I had to recreate one of our family favorites!
These Crumbl Chocolate Oreo Cookies are soft, buttery, and rich in chocolate flavor. Topped with sweet and creamy vanilla buttercream and Oreo pieces, it will be hard to keep your hands out of the cookie jar! These cookies hold up so well that you can even make them ahead and freeze them for when you're in a pinch or just have a craving for something sweet.
There is something so satisfying about making this recipe from scratch. The beautiful part of making any copycat recipe is having a homemade version in your kitchen without ever having to go out! Your family won't believe you were able to whip these up so effortlessly, and trust me: there will be nothing left but crumbs on their plates!
These cookies are amazing! My family begs me to make them all the time.

How to Make Crumbl Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Add the butter, sugar, and brown sugar to a mixing bowl and beat them together using an electric mixer.
- Add the egg and vanilla, then mix until creamy and light brown.
- Crush Oreos by placing them in a secure, closed plastic bag and mashing them with your hands or a mallet. They don't have to be fine crumbs; you can crush them into larger pieces.
- Mix in flour, cocoa powder, crushed Oreos, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Thoroughly combine.
- Roll the dough with your hands into equal portion balls, about ½ cup size. For smaller cookies, use about half that.
- Arrange into 6 equal portions onto cookie sheets. Flatten the cookies slightly with your hand by pressing down on them lightly.
- Bake 12-15 minutes until the cookies form cracks and are no longer shiny on top.
- Allow them to cool on the pan for 20 minutes at least before you frost them.
How to Make Cream Cheese Frosting
- Whip butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth using an electric mixer.
- Add powdered sugar a little at a time until thoroughly mixed.
- Add the frosting to a piping bag with a round tip or a sturdy, large zip-lock bag.
- Cut the corner out of the bag to form an impromptu piping bag.
- Pipe the frosting onto the cookies when ready, starting at the center and slowly swirling outwards.
- Garnish the frosting with crushed Oreo cookies.

Crumbl Cookies Copycat Recipe Tips
- These cookies expand while they bake. If you want smaller cookies, roll them into half the size.
- They can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Store them with a slice of bread in the container (optional) to keep them moist.
- If you don't have a piping bag to frost the cookies with, use a plastic bag and cut part of one of the corners off with scissors.
- For best results while baking, always level and measure your ingredients!
- Use room-temperature eggs and butter while baking.
How to Store Crumbl Cookies
- Allow them to cool completely.
- Use an airtight container or cookie jar.
- Separate layers with parchment paper.
- Store at room temperature or in the fridge.
- Consider freezing for more extended storage.
- Keep them dry and labeled.
- Consume within a week for the best freshness.
Crumbl Cookie Recipe FAQ
Homemade cookies can be stored in an airtight container and left on the counter for up to 10 days. Placing a piece of sliced bread in the container will help keep the cookies soft and chewy. If you make Crumbl cookies without icing, you can store them this way. The cream cheese icing should be stored separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
A sugar substitute can be used, but check your conversions. I suggest using a cane or coconut sugar for texture purposes.
You can freeze both cookie dough and fully baked cookies. Frozen cookies can last in the freezer for up to 6 months, while frozen cookie dough is okay for up to 3 months.
Cream cheese frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow it to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using it. This way, you can store the cookies and the frosting for when you are ready to make them.
Crumbl Cookies Variations
- Mint
- Peanut Butter
- Birthday Cake
- Limited Edition Red Velvet
- Double-Stuffed (because, why not?)
Maybe you can relate to this situation: it's a busy afternoon, and you're in the grocery store and only have so much time to be there. You come to the cookie section, see the Oreos, and think you've grabbed one kind, only to find you picked up a different flavor you weren't expecting.
Well, this happened to me one of the times I made this recipe! I thought I had regular Oreos, but they were mint flavor. And, you know what? They were SO good with this recipe. The cream cheese icing is completely versatile, and the cool, minty cream of the Oreo complimented the chocolate cookie like they were best friends. Since then, I have tried more variations with the different types of Oreo flavors!
