Why Imperial Sugar?
When it comes to this recipe, I wanted something I can relly on and the imperial sugar sugars are both extremely reliable and also pack a ton of flavor. Even though this is a chocolate cookie, it will add a great depth of flavor to these cookies!

Yes, you can. I prefer using black cocoa to make it really taste like Oreo cookies, but if you are in a pinch and don’t have it, regular will work just fine!

Frequently asked questions – FAQ
HOW TO STORE THESE chocolate pumpkin cheesecake COOKIES?
You can store these cookies in the fridge for up to 7 days. Once you’re ready to enjoy them, pull them out of the fridge and let them get back to room temp and enjoy!
Can I freeze these cookies?
Yes!
You can freeze these cookies in an air-tight container for up to 2 months. Make sure to flash-freeze them first on a baking sheet for a few hours before transferring them to an airtight container and separating each cookie with parchment or wax paper.
CAN I USE DOUBLE-STUFFED OREOS OR THIN OREOS FOR THESE COOKIES?
No, make sure to use the regular Oreos to keep the texture of these cookies the same. If you use the double stuffed Oreos, the stuffing will bring too much moisture to these cookies and if you use the thin ones, there won’t be enough cookie or stuffing to make the exact cookie dough that I made for this recipe.
So make sure that you stick with the regular Oreo cookies for this recipe!
HOW TO MAKE MINI CATERING SIZE CRUMBL chocolate pumpkin cheesecake cookies?
Instead of making 8 large cookies, you can also make 16 smaller cookies. Now, instead of baking them for 11 minutes you can bake them for 9 minutes, let them cool down on the baking sheet fully then transfer the mini cookies to a cooling rack.
Once the cookies are cooled down, you can decorate them as you could the larger cookies, then enjoy!

You say to mix the crushed Oreos in with the flour and other dry ingredients (which are then added to the wet), but then you say you roll the cookie dough in the crushed Oreos. So, which is it? Are the Oreos in the dough batter or are they left alone and the cookies are rolled in it?

These taste IDENTICAL to the Crumbl version.
My family absolutely loved these, the pumpkin cream cheese frosting was literally the exact same as crumbl’s, I swear! The cookies were chewy and decadant. I used kroger brand Kaleidos and it resulted in a soft and chewy sugar cookie.
Utterly delicious. Totally make these 🙂
Danielle
The cookies are AMAZING!!!! The frosting to me all I could taste was the cream cheese, it wasnt a nice sweet pumpkin flavor I was hoping for. Also in the recipe for the frosting it says to add vanilla, but vanilla isnt listed on the ingredients list. Pumpkin pie spice is listed in ingredients but not said in the directions.

Thank you for pointing that out!

This is the second copycat recipe I’ve made of yours and both have been amazing! I’ve never been to crumbl, and live 4 hours from one, but with your recipes, why do I even need to go?! Yum!
Chahinez
