For Halloween week, Crumbl released their fan-favorite Monster cookies for the week. The number of requests I received to remake them were crazy so I had to do it ASAP! I used a mixture of brown and granulated imperial sugar to get that chewy texture from Crumbl and trust me when I say this, we succeeded!
This is the best Halloween Crumbl Monster cookie recipe ever!
This recipe couldn’t have been released at a more perfect time too! I feel like a lot of us are going to have extra leftover candy from Halloween so what more of a reason to make these cookies.
Plus you can always mix and match, so instead of using chocolate chips, you can go with chopped-up Twix or Reese’s cups… or whatever the heart desires really!

Usually, monster cookies do have oats in them but this time since I am working off of an already existing recipe that doesn’t include them I didn’t add them either.
This is a Crumbl cookie copycat recipe that doesn’t include them but trust me you’ll love these cookies just as much 🙂

Frequently asked questions – FAQ
How to store Monster cookies?
You can store them by placing them in an airtight container and storing them at room temperate for up to 4 days.
You can also store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. I prefer this method and usually pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to get them soft and chewy, ooey-gooey again!
HOW CAN I MAKE CRUMBL CATERING SIZED COOKIES?
Instead of making 8 giant cookies, you can make 16 smaller catering size cookies by dividing your cookie dough into 18 little balls and baking them in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes.

Made these cookies. Flavor ok but I think I would back down on flour next time. They did not spread at all so they look the ice scream scoops.l, lol.
Chrissy
These cookies are amazing. I have nothing but praises for you Chahinez. Everyone who has tried it at a friend’s party was amazed at how soft and chewy they are. You are amazing! I have not tried any of the cookies in your website that was a fail. Glad to have seen you on IG and followed your every posts and stories.
Michelle
These tasted great but they came out cake like. Wondering what I did wrong?
Chahinez
Hi Michelle! Thank you and you could’ve maybe used too much egg or too much baking powder.
Micaela
The dough was a little tricky to handle but they turned out so good! I am loving trying all of your cookie recipes!
Chahinez
Thank you so much Micaela!
Cheryl
I haven’t made these yet. The reviews are great. The only thing that is keeping me from making them is the original Crumble monster cookie has oatmeal in them. I wanted to recreate those since my son loved the ones in the shop. I have made the Cornbread and the Circus Cookie so far and they are excellent. Thank you so much!!
Chahinez
Glad to hear you enjoyed the other recipes you tried Cheryl!
Thank you for the kind words!
Nechelle
Ok so I turned this into a cookie and and 😍😍😍😍these are amazing my only issue was that I didn’t know what you meant by 2 and 1 cups ….. is that 3 orrrr… yeah so the batter was a bit taker than that grainy dough I’m used too which prompt Ed d me to make the cake instead but it was amazing never the less
Chahinez
Oh no! What part were you confused on?
Beth
Chahinez is a genius. I have been making monster cookies for 6 years now, specifically when we set up Christmas. My husband said to never mess with or change this recipe as it was the best one he has ever had! I have made 7 of the cookies at this point and all have been 🔥. Literally no fail because of you, Chahinez! I don’t even know you, but your recipes, blog and Instagram make me feel like I’m cooking with a friend!

We don’t have a Crumbl nearby, so I didn’t realize the monster cookies had two kinds of chips plus the m&m candy. I can’t wait to try these once I get all of the ingredients together. Your cookie looks so tempting and since I have tried many of your other cookie recipes and all are 5-stars, I am sure these too will be nothing short of amazing!
Chelsea
I sat out a stick of butter this morning to make cookies, it’s like you knew, and posted this recipe! These were some of the softest cookies I’ve ever made. I dug into my daughter’s Halloween candy and used that instead of the chips and m&m’s. We made ice cream cookie sandwiches. My husband said they’re better than Crumbl.
Chahinez
OMG! That’s amazing Chelsea!! I am so happy that I shared this recipe at the right time. Can’t wait for you to bake more of my cookie recipes 🙂
