Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 cup 226g unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup 150g granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup 165g light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups 345g all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups crushed Oreo cookies
Frosting
- 1/2 cup 113g unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups 240g powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup very finely crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the oven and pans
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream the butter and sugars
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the eggs and vanilla
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Step 4: Mix the dry ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5: Make the dough
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6: Add the Oreo crumbs
- Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
Step 7: Portion the cookies
- Scoop the dough into 10 large cookies, about 1/4 cup of dough each. Shape each one into a tall mound rather than a flat ball for thicker cookies.
Step 8: Chill
- Chill the shaped dough for 30 to 45 minutes.
Step 9: Bake
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
Step 10: Cool
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before frosting.
Step 11: Make the frosting
- In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, then beat until fluffy. Start with 2 tablespoons of cream and add the third only if needed. Fold in the finely crushed Oreo cookies at the end.
Step 12: Frost the cookies
- Spread or pipe the frosting onto the completely cooled cookies. Sprinkle extra Oreo crumbs on top if desired.
Notes
For the best Crumbl cookies and cream milkshake cookies, use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure a smooth, evenly mixed dough and a soft bakery-style texture. Proper creaming of the butter and sugars is key to achieving thick, fluffy cookies with that signature Crumbl consistency.
Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps prevent spreading and creates taller, thicker cookies. For an authentic Crumbl-style look, shape the dough into tall mounds rather than flat balls before baking.
Use regular Oreo cookies (not double stuffed) for the best structure and flavor balance. Crushing the Oreos too finely in the dough can make the cookies dense, so aim for a mix of small crumbs and chunks. For the frosting, use very finely crushed Oreos to keep it smooth and pipeable.
Slightly underbake the cookies so the centers stay soft and rich. The cookies will continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet. Avoid overbaking, as this will result in dry cookies instead of the soft, milkshake-like texture.
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh or slightly chilled for a true cookies and cream dessert experience. Store leftovers in the refrigerator to keep the frosting stable and the cookies soft.
For bakery-style results, use a large cookie scoop and avoid overmixing the dough once the flour is added. This helps maintain a tender crumb and prevents tough cookies.
This Crumbl cookies and cream cookie recipe is perfect for Oreo lovers looking for a soft, thick, frosted cookie with rich vanilla and chocolate flavor in every bite.
