How can I get that iconic craggy top iced oatmeal cookie look?
To get that iconic look, you want to lightly dip the cookies into the icing or glaze. I was going for the Crumbl look so I dipped them a little extra in there.
This depends strictly on preference so do whatever you prefer. Dip a little less or a little more depending on your likings 🙂

- Using a large cookie scooper, scoop out 8 equally sized cookie dough balls, place them on the prepared baking sheet, gently press down on the cookies to about 1 inch in thickness, and bake them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Make sure to not overbake them so they stay soft and gooey
- Let the cookies cool down on the baking sheet for 20 minutes then more to a cooling rack to cool down fully.
Make the glaze

amazing cookies. I had a terrible day after failing in my efforts to update my kitchen. cabinet refacing is not for the faint of heart. This was a much-needed pick-me-up treat. Thanks for the recipe.
So glad these cheered you up!
You are my absolute, all-star go to when it comes to Crumbl cookie recipes! These are fantastic! Spot on! Thank you!
That’s so sweet, thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked it!
These are fantastic! I’ve made these three times in less than a week. The third time, I doubled the recipe! My husband and my picky son have a new favorite cookie…they absolutely love them! My husband said these are like his mom made growing up and we finally found a recipe that lives up to those. ❤️ Everyone who’s tried them has asked for the recipe. These are way better than Crumble btw! Thank you!!
I honestly love to hear that! I’m so glad that your family enjoyed them 🙂
I live all the comments, but no actual said if it tastes like the actual Crumbl cookie?
I think it tastes even better!
Can I add raisins and if so, how many, and would it change my cooking time for large or small ones?
Hi Scott! Yes, you can definitely add raisins. For a full batch, I’d use about ½–¾ cup. Stir them in after mixing the dough. Baking time will stay about the same, whether large or small, just watch for those edges to set.
can I freeze the dough
Hi Rosemary! Yes, you can freeze the dough. Scoop it into balls, freeze on a tray until firm, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. They’ll keep well for up to 2 months, just add 1–2 minutes to the bake time from frozen.
These cookies were amazing.
Thank you Val!
