How to Make Crumbl Chocolate Oreo Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.

2. Pulse the Oreos in a food processor until they form fine crumbs.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the crushed Oreos, flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, and salt until well combined.

4. In a stand mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. This step creates a soft, tender cookie base.

5. Mix in the oil and egg until fully incorporated. The oil helps keep these cookies extra soft, just like Crumbl-style cookies.

7. Use a large ice cream scoop to portion the dough onto prepared baking sheets. These cookies should be big and thick for that bakery-style look.

8. Gently flatten each dough ball into a thick disc. Don’t press too thin—this helps keep the centers soft.

9. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft. Do not overbake for best texture.

10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet until fully set. This keeps them from breaking and helps develop that soft center.

11. In a stand mixer, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix on low until combined, then beat on medium for about 1 minute until smooth and creamy.

12. Spread frosting over each cooled cookie and sprinkle with Oreo crumbs for that classic crumbl chocolate Oreo cookies finish.

Pro Tips for Thick, Soft Crumbl-Style Cookies

  • Chill the dough for 30–60 minutes to help the cookies stay thick and bake up with that classic crumbl chocolate Oreo cookies texture.
  • Slightly underbake the cookies so the centers stay soft and fudgy as they finish setting while cooling.
  • Use a large cookie scoop to create oversized, bakery-style cookies that bake evenly and look just like Crumbl’s.
  • Avoid overmixing once the flour is added to keep the cookies tender instead of dense or tough.
  • Flatten the dough gently into thick discs so the cookies bake with soft centers and slightly crisp edges.
  • Chill the frosting briefly if it feels too soft to make it easier to spread smoothly without sliding off the cookies.

Serving Suggestions for Crumbl Chocolate Oreo Cookies

These cookies are best served slightly warm or at room temperature so the cookies stay soft and the frosting remains smooth and creamy. For a classic treat, pair them with a cold glass of milk, or serve alongside coffee or hot chocolate. They also make a great addition to a cookie tray or dessert platter for parties and holidays. If you want to make them extra special, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an easy cookies-and-cream dessert.

Storage Instructions

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days, letting cookies come to room temperature before serving. Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months or dough balls for up to 3 months.

FAQs About Crumbl Chocolate Oreo Cookies

Yes, you can make crumbl chocolate Oreo cookies smaller by using a medium or small cookie scoop instead of a large one. Smaller cookies will bake faster, so reduce the baking time slightly and watch for set edges with soft centers.

Classic Oreos are the best choice for crumbl chocolate Oreo cookies because they provide the most balanced chocolate and cream flavor. However, you can also use Double Stuf or flavored Oreos to create a richer or more unique variation.

Crumbl chocolate Oreo cookies use both butter and oil to create the perfect texture, since butter adds rich flavor while oil helps keep the cookies soft and moist for longer after baking.

Yes, crumbl chocolate Oreo cookies can be made ahead of time and stored until ready to serve. For best results, prepare the cookies in advance and add the frosting closer to serving so they look fresh and taste their best.

To get smooth frosting on crumbl chocolate Oreo cookies, use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread an even layer across the top, working from the center outward for a clean, bakery-style finish.
