How to Make Crumbl Cookies Mom’s Recipe Copycat

PIN IT

1. Brown the Butter – Start by melting your butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Keep stirring until it turns golden and gives off a nutty aroma. This step transforms your cookies from good to unforgettable!
2. Mix Wet Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, egg, and extra yolk until smooth and glossy.
3. Add Dry Ingredients – Stir in the flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined—don’t overdo it!
4. Chill the Dough – Pop the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors deepen and keeps the cookies thick.
5. Bake – Scoop large dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers look slightly underdone.
6. Cool & Enjoy – Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. They’ll set up beautifully as they cool.

Pro tip: Serve them warm with a glass of cold milk—pure bliss.

What to Serve with Crumbl Cookies Mom’s Recipe Copycat

These cookies are a treat all on their own, but they pair wonderfully with:

• A frothy cappuccino or latte
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream (cookie sandwich alert!)
• A cozy mug of hot cocoa

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t skip browning the butter – It’s the secret to rich, nutty flavor.
• Chill the dough – This keeps cookies from spreading too thin.
• Underbake slightly – Pull them out when the centers look soft; they’ll finish setting on the sheet.
• Double the batch – They freeze beautifully, and future-you will thank present-you.

Storage Instructions

• Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Freezer (Baked): Freeze cooled cookies up to 2 months. Reheat in microwave for 10–15 seconds.
• Freezer (Dough): Roll into balls and freeze raw. Bake straight from freezer, adding 2–3 extra minutes.

General Information

The original “Mom’s Recipe” from Crumbl is meant to feel nostalgic, like something your mom or grandma would whip up. With oats, cinnamon, and that brown sugar sweetness, this copycat recipe brings back those childhood cookie memories in every bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes! Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free oats.

Do I need to chill the dough?
It’s not required, but chilling helps the cookies bake thicker and chewier.

What’s the best way to brown butter?
Cook butter slowly over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden with a nutty aroma. Watch closely—it can burn quickly!

Can I use quick oats instead?
I don’t recommend it. Rolled oats give the cookies their hearty bite and chewy texture.
