- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (42g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups (about 18) crushed Oreo cookies
- 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For the icing:
- 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Oreo Crumbl Cookie with Soft Center and Icing
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients and Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper for easy removal and minimal clean-up.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Don't overmix.
Step 5: Fold in Oreo Crumbs and Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in crushed Oreo cookies and chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 6: Shape and Bake Your Cookies
Using a large cookie scoop (about ¼ cup of dough per cookie), shape dough into thick balls and place them at least 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but centers are still slightly soft. Do not overbake – the key to a soft center is a slightly underbaked cookie!
Step 7: Cool and Prepare the Icing
While cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, prepare the icing. Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. If needed, add another tablespoon of milk for a creamy, spreadable consistency.
Step 8: Ice and Serve
Once cookies are completely cool, generously spread or pipe icing over each cookie. Top with extra Oreo crumbs if desired. Enjoy!
Notes for the Best Oreo Crumbl Cookie with Soft Center and Icing
