As a cookbook author and seasoned recipe developer, I’ve spent years perfecting cookie recipes. This Cookies and Cream Crumbl copycat cookie is no exception.   It all starts with a cake mix, making the process unbelievably easy without sacrificing that bakery-quality flavor and texture you are looking for.

The cookie base is rich, soft, and packed with crushed Oreo cookies in every single bite.  A generous swirl of creamy frosting on top takes them over the top, just like the ones you can buy…but even better because they’re made with love at home.

Using a cake mix not only saves time, but also guarantees a consistent cookie every single  time you bake.  Whether you’re treating yourself or sharing with friends, these Cookies and Cream Cake Mix Cookies are magic in every bite!

Recipe ingredients

Cookie:

• Vanilla Cake Mix-the perfect starting point for a moist and delicious cookie.
• All Purpose Flour-added to give the cookie dough a little more stability and give you a giant, thick cookie.
• Eggs-an ingredient that is added to most baking recipes to both bind the cookie dough and add richness.
• Butter-melted and used in place of vegetable oil, it gives this cookie a wonderful rich flavor.
• Sour Cream-for a bit of tang to help offset the sweetness.
• Oreo Cookies-chopped coarsely and added to the cookie dough for an amazing texture.

Frosting:

• Butter-added for flavor and to give the frosting the creamy texture we love.
• Powdered Sugar-also called confectioners sugar, it is important in most frosting recipes for the sweetness without the grit you get from granulated sugar.
• Vanilla Extract-flavor, flavor, flavor!
• Milk-use whatever you have on hand. It is going to thin out your frosting.
• Oreo Cookies-chopped finely for added texture but not so large that they can’t be piped onto the cookie.
• Mini Oreos-for the top of each cookie because…why not?

How to make Crumbl Milkshake Cookies

1. Combine the cake mix and all purpose flour, whisk the ingredients together. Add the eggs, melted butter and sour cream. Combine using a hand held {or stand} mixer until you have a thick dough. Add the coarsely chopped Oreo cookies and stir until they are evenly distributed.

2. Use a 1/4 cup to measure out 12 cookies. Use your hand to work the dough into a round patty shape. Place them on a silicone mat {or parchment} lined baking sheet.

3. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 9-11 minutes. Remove and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.

4. While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting. Combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk in a medium bowl. Mix the ingredients together using a hand held {or stand} mixer until creamy and smooth. Add more milk if needed to get a spreading consistency. Add the finely chopped Oreo cookies and stir until they are evenly distributed.

5. Either spread or pipe a good amount of frosting to the top of each cookie.

6. Finally, top with a mini Oreo cookie and serve. Or chill in the refrigerator and serve like they do at Crumbl.

Pro tips

• Use a whole 1/4 cup of cookie dough to make the cookies. Use your hands to shape them into a thick and round cookie before adding it to the oven.
• Don’t over bake the cookies. Bake them for 9-11 minutes or until the cookies are set then allow them to cool on the baking sheet to set up completely.
• Don’t forget the mini Oreo on top of each cookie. They are iconic to this copycat cookie and they are also adorable.
• Serve these cookies chilled like they do at the Crumbl stores. There is something so wonderful about that..trust me!
