Chocolate Oreo Crumbl Cookies
Description
These Chocolate Oreo Crumbl Cookies use a dough enriched with salted butter, brown and granulated sugars, and sour cream to create moist, dense cookies. Cocoa powder and crushed Oreo cookies are incorporated into the dough, providing deep chocolate notes alongside Oreo's characteristic crunch and sweetness.
The cookies are portioned into large balls and baked until the edges are set but centers remain slightly soft, preserving a chewy texture. After cooling, they are topped with a smooth cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with additional crushed Oreos to reinforce the chocolate-cookie flavors.
This recipe requires a substantial amount of Oreo cookies, processed with their cream filling intact, ensuring rich flavor throughout the cookie and topping layers. Using both light brown sugar and granulated sugar contributes to both moisture and crispness in different parts of the cookie.
The recipe notes mention that substituting black cocoa powder enhances the cookie's darkness and richness if preferred.
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 1 ½ cups butter salted, softened to room temperature
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar lightly packed, light or dark
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 /2 Oreo cookies finely crushed, about 43 cookies (see note
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder natural unsweetened or Dutch-process
Frosting:
- ½ cup butter salted, softened to room temperature
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 to 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- Oreo cookies crumbs, for topping (see note
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two or more half sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a handheld electric mixer), cream together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well-combined and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs, sour cream and vanilla, and mix until thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the 4 1/2 cups Oreo crumbs (save the rest of the crumbs for topping the frosted cookies), flour, and cocoa powder and mix until no dry streaks remain.
- Measure out 1/4 cup portions of dough and roll into balls. Place several inches apart on prepared baking sheets (because these are larger cookies, I only place six cookies on each half sheet pan).
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until edges are set but middles are still slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let sit on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely. If the centers are mounded, gently press with a spatula or flat-bottomed class to an even thickness.
- For the frosting, with an electric mixer (stand or handheld) cream together the butter and cream cheese until very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix until combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed, until all the sugar has been incorporated. Increase the speed to medium and mix for 2 to 3 minutes until very light and creamy, adding milk or cream as needed to thin out the frosting. It should be thick and creamy but also soft and easily spreadable.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, frost each cookie with an offset spatula or frost with a piping bag fitted with a round open tip and spiral the frosting in rounds over the top of the cookie. Sprinkle the cookies with Oreo cookie crumbs. Refrigerate frosted cookies until serving.
Notes
- This recipe requires about 55 Oreos total; 43 for the dough and the rest for frosting topping.
- Use a food processor to finely crush Oreos, including the cream filling, for best mix-in texture.
- Substitute black cocoa powder for an extra dark, rich flavor.
