What Are Crumbl Recipe Mom’s Cookies?
Crumbl Mom’s recipe is a soft and chewy oatmeal cookie that’s been upgraded with rich chocolate chips, melty peanut butter chips, buttery toffee bits, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. It’s like your favorite childhood cookie, but with a few grown-up additions that make each bite irresistibly satisfying. This cookie captures that homemade flavor in a big bakery-style format that’s every bit as comforting as the real deal.
While the original version from Crumbl is thick, soft, and loaded with mix-ins, this copycat lets you control every bite—how gooey, how chocolatey, how peanut-buttery you want it to be. The browned butter adds a caramelized richness that brings everything together, and that final sea salt sprinkle? Absolute magic. Whether you’re baking a batch for a get-together or sneaking one as a late-night snack, these cookies hit the spot every single time.
Ingredients You Need
- Melted Browned Butter – Browning the butter gives it a deep, toasty aroma and infuses the dough with a subtle nutty richness that you just can’t get from regular melted butter.
- Sugar – Using both light brown sugar and granulated sugar creates a perfectly balanced sweetness while keeping the cookies moist and chewy in the center.
- Vanilla Extract – A splash of pure vanilla adds warmth and depth that brings out all the other flavors in the dough.
- Eggs – One egg plus an extra yolk gives the cookies structure and richness without drying them out.
- Oats – Rolled oats add texture and a cozy, hearty flavor.
- Flour – All-purpose flour helps form the sturdy base for these thick cookies and holds all the mix-ins together.
- Cinnamon – A pinch of ground cinnamon adds warmth and an almost nostalgic spice that ties in beautifully with the oats.
- Baking Soda – This helps the cookies rise and spread just enough for that perfect bakery-style texture.
- Kosher Salt – Just a touch wakes up all the flavors in the dough and balances the sweetness.
- Chocolate Chips – Semi-sweet chocolate chips melt into gooey pockets that make every bite extra comforting.
- Peanut Butter Chips – These melt right into the dough and add a creamy, salty-sweet peanut butter flavor.
- Toffee Bits – Sweet and crunchy, toffee bits bring in a buttery caramel crunch that makes the cookies extra special.
- Sea Salt – A final sprinkle of flaky sea salt brings a pop of savory contrast that makes all the other flavors shine.
How to Make Crumbl Mom’s Recipe Cookies
- Cream. Add the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Blend until everything is smooth and creamy.
- Beat. Crack in the egg and egg yolk, then pour in the vanilla. Mix until the wet ingredients are well combined and slightly fluffy.
- Mix the Dough. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and toffee bits until evenly mixed.
- Scoop. Use a large cookie scoop or your hands to portion the dough into equal-sized balls. Place them on a lined or greased baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Lightly press down on each cookie to flatten the tops.
- Bake. Slide the cookies into the oven and bake until the edges are set and lightly golden, while the centers stay soft.
- Cool. Once out of the oven, sprinkle each cookie with flaky sea salt. Let them cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
Variations
- Swap the Chips – Try white chocolate, butterscotch, or dark chocolate chips in place of semi-sweet for a fun flavor twist.
- Nuts – Chopped pecans or walnuts bring an extra crunch and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the toffee and oats.
- Chocolate – Melt a little chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled cookies for a bakery-style finish.
- Make Them Mini – Use a small cookie scoop and reduce the bake time for bite-sized versions.
- Go Gluten-Free – Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free oats to make them safe for everyone.
- Coconut – A small handful of shredded coconut adds a tropical flair and extra chewiness.
- Almond Extract – Swap a little of the vanilla for almond extract to give the cookies a slightly nutty edge.
Can I Store Leftovers?
If you store these cookies at room temperature in an airtight container, they’ll stay soft for a few days. Just be sure to let them cool completely first.
They’ll last longer in the fridge (up to 1 week), though they may firm up a bit. You can always pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to bring back the gooey texture.
To freeze, let the cookies cool, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll stay good for up to 3 few months.
Common Questions About This Crumbl Cookies Mom’s Recipe Copycat
These cookies are thicker, softer, and loaded with extras like chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and toffee bits, which give them more layers of flavor than your average oatmeal cookie.
Browning the butter adds a nutty, toasty flavor that makes the cookies taste richer and more complex.
You can use store-bought toffee bits like Heath brand, or chop up Heath bars for a more rustic feel.
Sure! If peanut butter isn’t your thing, just leave them out or replace them with more chocolate chips or a different mix-in.

Love these cookies!
I didn’t have toffee bits so used 3 different chippets *chocolate, butterscotch and reese’s pieces PB
I made 12 and they were still HUGE.
12 min didn’t bake them enough, so I put them back for another 7 minutes.
They are even better the next day!
My husband loves browned butter with veggies, and it definitely was a nice addition to the cookies.
Really good cookie! My husband loves using browned butter on veggies, but I’ve never made a cookie with it, till now!
I didn’t have the toffee bits so I added a 3rd chippet to the mix. (chocolate, reese’s PB and butterscotch)
I made 12 cookies and they are still BIG!
They would be really good with nuts too๐
12 minutes did not fully bake these. I had to put them back in for another 7 minutes.
They were even better the next day!

What is browned butter? I have never used in a recipe. Want to try to make these b4 by grandson returns to college. Thanks
Hi Pat! Browned butter is butter that is melted and cooked until brown with a slightly nutty taste. Here’s a good post on what it is and how to make it.
We hope you enjoy!

Boy! That brown butter sure makes a difference in a cookie recipe. these were delicious! I’ve never seen such large flakes of sea salt anywhere like on your pictured cookie.
We’re so glad you enjoyed them, Chrys! You’ll want to look for large sea salt flakes. We love the Maldon brand!

Oh no! So sorry it didn’t turn out good. What happened? Yes, it is 1/2 tsp, sorry about that!
I love the flavor but my cookies seemed cakey. Is that the way the texture is supposed to be?
Yes, Crumbl cookies are fairly dense and cake-like!
