- 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (240g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (120g) chocolate chips
Crumble Topping
- ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (60g) rolled oats
- ¼ cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup (50g) unsalted butter, melted
Icing
- 4 cups (480g) powdered sugar
- ½ cup (120ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Food coloring (light blue recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside for later incorporation into the dough.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, ensuring a tender cookie.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, then stir in vanilla extract to build flavor.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Incorporate Oats and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 2 cups rolled oats and 1 cup chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Prepare Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ¼ cup light brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly.
- Form Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Add Crumble Topping: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over each cookie mound to create a delightful crunchy layer.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have golden brown edges and slightly soft centers.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring the icing won’t melt.
- Prepare Icing: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, softened butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Add food coloring if desired to achieve a light blue hue.
- Ice Cookies: Once cookies are fully cooled, spread the prepared icing evenly over each cookie.
- Set Icing: Let the icing set completely before serving or storing to avoid smudging and to allow full flavor development.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for better mixing and dough consistency.
- Parchment paper prevents cookies from sticking and helps with easy cleanup.
- Spacing cookies 2 inches apart avoids them merging during baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before icing to prevent melting.
- Food coloring is optional; light blue adds a classic Crumbl cookie appearance.
- Store iced cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
