Crumbl Iced Oatmeal Cookies Ingredients

• Old-Fashioned Oats: Whole oats, steamed and flattened for hearty texture.
• All-Purpose Flour: Provides structure, holding cookie dough together perfectly.
• Baking Soda: Helps cookies spread while creating soft, chewy texture.
• Ground Cinnamon: Warm spice that complements oats with comforting flavor.
• Salt: Balances sweetness and enhances all cookie flavors.
• Unsalted Butter: Adds richness, flavor, and smooth texture to cookies.
• Granulated Sugar: Sweetens cookies and creates tender, soft consistency.
• Light Brown Sugar: Adds moisture and subtle caramel flavor notes.
• Large Egg: Binds ingredients and gives cookies structural support.
• Vanilla Extract: Boosts flavor with sweet, aromatic, classic vanilla aroma.

How To Make Copycat Crumbl Iced Oatmeal Cookies

Step 1: Fit a large stand mixer with a paddle attachment, then beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Place the cracked egg and vanilla extract in the bowl and mix until just combined.

Step 2: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, dry quick oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer and mix until well combined.

Step 3: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper, place 6–8 cookie dough balls on top, and gently flatten each with your hands.

Tip: Cook the cookies in batches and keep the remaining dough chilled in the refrigerator. Cold dough produces better results in the air fryer than room temperature dough.

Step 4: Set the air fryer cooking temperature to 320 degrees F, and set the cook time for 4-6 minutes. Then, allow the cookies to cool in the air fryer basket for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Step 5: While the cookies cool, make the icing. Using a spoon or a whisk, beat the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a small bowl.

Step 6: Dip the tops of the cookies into the icing, allowing the excess icing to drip back into the bowl. Then sprinkle the cookies with a small pinch of cinnamon and quick oats. Let the cookies harden and set for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Copycat Crumbl Iced Oatmeal Cookies Recipe Tips

• Use Old-Fashioned Oats: Old-fashioned oats provide a hearty texture and chewiness to the cookies. Avoid using quick oats as they can result in a softer and less textured cookie.
• Don’t Overmix the Dough: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tougher cookie. Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• Chill the Dough: After mixing the cookie dough, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Chilling the dough melds the flavors together, resulting in a thicker and more flavorful cookie.
• Use Butter at the Right Consistency: Softened butter is key for achieving the perfect texture. Make sure the butter is at room temperature but not melted. This will ensure proper creaming with the sugars and provide the right structure for the cookies.
• Add Mix-Ins Strategically: If using raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts as mix-ins, consider adding them to the dough after refrigeration. This will prevent the mix-ins from spreading too much during baking and help them retain their texture.
• Form Uniform Cookie Dough Balls: Use a cookie scoop or measuring spoon to portion out the dough for each cookie. This ensures consistent size and promotes even baking.
• Let the Cookies Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows them to firm up and maintain their structure.

Storing, Freezing and Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them soft and fresh.
• Freezing: Freeze un-iced cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet for 1 hour, then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
• Reheating: Reheat cookies in the air fryer at 320°F for 2–3 minutes or in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to enjoy them warm and soft again.
