Crumbl Copycat Frosted Oreo Cookies

I still remember the first time I brought a box of frosted Oreo cookies home. The kind that make everyone stop mid-conversation after the first bite. That deep chocolate cookie, the soft center, and the creamy frosting felt a little over the top in the best way.

After a few kitchen tests and plenty of taste testing, this homemade version became a favorite in my own baking rotation. It has that bakery-style feel but comes together easily at home, no long chilling times or complicated steps required.

This is the kind of recipe that fits perfectly into slow afternoons, weekend baking plans, or anytime you want something chocolatey and fun.

How to Make Crumbl Copycat Frosted Oreo Cookies

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and lining a few baking sheets with parchment paper. I love using parchment paper here because it keeps the cookies from sticking and helps them bake evenly without over-browning on the bottom.

Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. This step makes a big difference since evenly crushed cookies blend better into the dough and give that classic Oreo flavor throughout. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and add the flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Stir until everything looks evenly mixed, then set it aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. I like using the stand mixer here because it gives the dough a really uniform texture without much effort. Add in the oil and egg, mixing again until fully incorporated. Don’t worry if the mixture looks extra soft at this stage, that is exactly what you want.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixer, mixing until a thick dough forms. Be sure to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl so everything blends evenly. This keeps any dry pockets from hiding at the bottom.

Using a large ice cream scoop, portion the dough onto your prepared baking sheets. The scoop helps keep the cookies uniform in size so they bake evenly. Gently flatten each mound into a disc shape with your fingers. Bake for about 10 minutes, just until the centers are set. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool, so avoid overbaking. Let them cool completely before frosting.

To make the frosting, add the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt to a clean stand mixer bowl. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed and beat for about a minute until the frosting looks smooth and creamy.

Once the cookies are fully cooled, spread a generous layer of frosting over each one and finish with a sprinkle of Oreo crumbs on top.

Serving Suggestions

These cookies shine on their own, but they are extra special served slightly chilled with a cold glass of milk or a warm mug of coffee. For gatherings, arrange them on a platter with extra Oreo crumbs sprinkled around for a bakery-style presentation. They also make a fun dessert for movie nights or casual celebrations.

Storage Tips

Store the frosted cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. I like letting them sit at room temperature for about ten minutes before serving so the frosting softens just a bit. You can also bake the cookies a day ahead and frost them right before serving for the freshest look.
