Ingredients

For the Cookie Base

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened: This gives the cookies that rich, buttery base and helps keep them soft and bakery-style.

  • ½ cup sugar: Granulated sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness and helps the cookies spread perfectly.

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar: Brown sugar brings extra moisture and that subtle caramel flavor that makes these cookies irresistible.

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar: A little powdered sugar helps create that tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

  • ⅓ cup oil: Oil keeps the cookies ultra soft for days and gives them that signature bakery chew.

  • 1 egg: The egg binds everything together and gives the cookies structure without drying them out.

  • 25 Oreos, crushed: Crushed Oreos are the star here, packing every bite with cookies-and-cream flavor.

  • 1 ¼ cups flour: Flour gives the cookies just enough structure while keeping them thick and soft.

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch: Cornstarch is the secret to that soft, fluffy bakery-style texture.

  • ¼ cup cocoa powder: Cocoa powder adds rich chocolate flavor without making the cookies too sweet.

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda: Baking soda helps the cookies rise slightly and stay nice and tender.

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder: A touch of baking powder gives the cookies a little extra lift.

  • ½ teaspoon salt: Salt balances the sweetness and brings out all that chocolatey Oreo flavor.

  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar: This helps create that classic soft, chewy cookie texture you expect from bakery cookies.

For the Frosting

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened: Softened butter makes the frosting smooth, creamy, and easy to spread.

  • 1 cup powdered sugar: Powdered sugar sweetens the frosting while keeping it light and fluffy.

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla: Vanilla adds warmth and rounds out the sweetness of the frosting.

  • ½ teaspoon salt: A pinch of salt keeps the frosting from tasting overly sweet.

  • Additional Oreo crumbs, to decorate: A final sprinkle of Oreo crumbs adds the perfect finishing touch and a little extra crunch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.

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

4. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the softened butter and sugars together until smooth and well combined.

5. Add the oil and egg, mixing until fully incorporated.

6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing well and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

7. Use a large ice cream scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets.

8. Gently flatten each portion into a disc, then bake for about 10 minutes, or until the centers are set. Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.

9. To make the frosting, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt together on low speed until combined. Scrape down the sides, then increase the speed to medium and mix for about 1 minute, until smooth and creamy.

10. Spread a generous layer of frosting over the cooled cookies.

11. Finish by sprinkling additional Oreo crumbs on top for decoration.

Tips for Perfect Copycat Crumbl Frosted Oreo Cookies

  • Don’t overbake the cookies. They should look just set in the center when you pull them from the oven, because they’ll finish setting as they cool and stay nice and soft.

  • Crush the Oreos really finely for the best texture. A food processor works great and helps the Oreo flavor spread evenly through the dough.

  • Use room-temperature butter for both the cookies and the frosting so everything mixes smoothly without lumps.

  • Scoop the dough large and flatten slightly. These cookies are meant to be thick and bakery-style, not thin and crispy.

  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting. Warm cookies will melt the frosting and turn it into a slippery mess.

  • Spread the frosting generously. Crumbl-style cookies are known for that thick, creamy layer on top, so don’t hold back.

  • Finish with extra Oreo crumbs right before serving for the best look and a little added crunch.

Get Creative!

  • Swap the classic frosting for a cream cheese frosting if you want a little tang to balance all that chocolatey Oreo goodness.

  • Add chopped Oreos to the frosting for extra crunch and even more cookies-and-cream flavor in every bite.

  • Turn these into cookie sandwiches by skipping the frosting on top and spreading it between two cookies instead.

  • Drizzle a little melted white chocolate over the frosted cookies for a bakery-style finish that looks extra fancy.

  • Press a mini Oreo or a few crushed pieces right into the frosting for a fun decorative touch.

  • Make them mini by using a smaller scoop and adjusting the bake time slightly for perfect party-sized cookies.

  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to the dough to deepen the chocolate flavor without making them taste like coffee.

Serving & Storing

  • Serve these cookies at room temperature so the frosting is soft and creamy and the cookies have that perfect bakery-style texture.

  • If you’re stacking them on a platter, place a small piece of parchment paper between layers to keep the frosting looking pretty.

  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days to keep the frosting fresh.

  • Let refrigerated cookies sit out for about 10–15 minutes before serving so they soften back up.

  • For longer storage, the unfrosted cookies can be frozen, then thawed and frosted when you’re ready to serve.

  • These cookies travel well once the frosting is set, making them great for parties, bake sales, or sharing with friends.

 

Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

Yes, and they’re actually great for that. You can bake the cookies a day or two in advance and frost them just before serving, or frost them and store them in the fridge until you’re ready.

Do these cookies need to be refrigerated?

Since they’re frosted with a butter-based frosting, it’s best to store them in the fridge. Just let them sit out for a bit before serving so they soften up nicely.

Can I freeze these cookies?

Absolutely. Freeze the cookies without frosting for best results, then thaw and frost when you’re ready. Frosted cookies can be frozen too, but the frosting texture may change slightly.

Why are my cookies too soft or crumbly?

These cookies are meant to be very soft, but if they’re falling apart, they may need an extra minute in the oven or a little more time to cool and set.

Can I use regular Oreos or do I need a specific type?

Classic Oreos work perfectly here. No need for double-stuffed or specialty flavors unless you want to experiment.

How do I get that thick bakery-style look?

Use a large scoop for the dough, flatten slightly before baking, and don’t overbake. A generous layer of frosting on top also helps give them that signature bakery feel.

Can I make these cookies smaller?

You can, just keep an eye on the bake time. Smaller cookies will need a few minutes less in the oven.
