I've been on a mission to recreate some of the most famous cookies around, from DoubleTree Hotel and Subway to Disney Resorts and Jacques Torres. One of the most surprising cookies I've made is Crumbl's Mom's Cookie. These aren't my mom's cookies; these are inspired by a cookie that has been on the menu at Crumbl Cookies. I wanted to create my own version, so I started by using my copycat Chick-fil-A chocolate chunk cookie dough as a base. It's the perfect oatmeal cookie (not too heavy on oats, but you still get the essence). At first glance, it looks like a simple oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, but one bite reveals layers of chocolate, peanut butter chips, buttery toffee, warm cinnamon, and flaky sea salt.
What Makes Crumbl Mom's Cookies So Popular?
Unlike a traditional oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, Crumbl's Mom's Cookie combines several unexpected flavors into one bakery-style cookie. Oats provide a hearty base while semisweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, buttery toffee bits, cinnamon, and flaky sea salt create layers of sweet, salty, and buttery flavor in every bite.
The cookies are also much larger than homemade cookies, with crisp edges and thick, chewy centers that stay soft for days. It's easy to see why this has become one of Crumbl's most requested cookies.
This copycat Crumbl Mom's Cookie recipe captures everything I love about the original. The cookies are bakery-style with crisp golden edges, soft, chewy centers, and plenty of mix-ins in every bite. If you're a fan of sweet-and-salty cookies with lots of texture, this recipe is definitely one to add to your baking list.

What Makes Crumbl Mom's Cookies So Good?
Unlike a traditional oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, Crumbl's Mom's Cookie combines several flavors that don't seem like they should work together—but somehow they do. The oatmeal provides a hearty base while chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, toffee bits, cinnamon, and flaky sea salt create layers of sweet, salty, buttery flavor in every bite. It's easy to see why this has become one of Crumbl's most beloved cookies.
Tips & Tricks
- Use a large (3-tablespoon) cookie scoop for bakery-style cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough once you add the flour.
- Press a few extra chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and toffee bits onto the tops before baking for bakery-worthy cookies.
- Bake only until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly underbaked.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while warm.
- Wrap individual cookies in plastic wrap once cooled to keep them soft for days (one of my favorite cookie storage tricks).
Ingredients
- Butter: I bake with salted butter because I love the extra flavor it adds, but unsalted butter works well too.
- Brown Sugar: Brown sugar adds moisture, chewiness, and rich caramel flavor while helping the cookies stay soft.
- Granulated Sugar: Granulated sugar balances the brown sugar and creates lightly crisp edges.
- Eggs: Eggs provide richness, moisture, and structure.
- Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract enhances every flavor in the cookie. Homemade vanilla extract is especially delicious if you have some on hand.
- All-Purpose Flour: All-purpose flour provides enough structure to support all of the mix-ins without making the cookies dense.
- Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Salt, and Cinnamon: These ingredients work together to provide lift, flavor, and just enough warmth from the cinnamon without overpowering the cookie.
- Old-Fashioned Oats: I prefer old-fashioned oats because they add more texture, but quick oats also work.
- Semisweet Chocolate Chips: Semisweet chocolate balances the sweetness of the cookie better than milk chocolate.
- Peanut Butter Chips: One of the signature ingredients that makes these taste like Crumbl's version.
- Toffee Bits: Heath Toffee Bits add buttery crunch and rich caramel flavor.
- Flaky Sea Salt: A sprinkle on top enhances every flavor in the cookie.

How To Make Mom's Cookies
Step 1: Cream the butter and sugars. Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
Step 2: Combine the dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix into the butter mixture.
Step 3: Scoop the Cookie Dough. Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons), portion the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt if desired.
Step 4: Bake and Cool. Bake until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly underdone, about 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Why Add Flaky Sea Salt?
Flaky sea salt is one of the finishing touches that makes Crumbl Mom's Cookies stand out. A light sprinkle balances the sweetness of the chocolate, peanut butter chips, and toffee while making every flavor taste richer. If you've never added flaky sea salt to cookies before, this is the recipe to try.
Baking Tip
I bake all of my cookies on light-colored metal baking sheets. Dark baking sheets absorb more heat and may brown the bottoms before the centers finish baking. If you're using dark baking sheets, begin checking the cookies a minute or two early.

I bake most of my cookies at 350
Brandy says
Hi everyone! Brandy here, this has become our go-to recipe to bring to get-togethers. My 13 year old has made and shared them several times. They are easy to make, but have such a unique flavor combo!
Melissa_in_NJ says
Just curious why you use 350 instead of the usual 375 for cookies?
Brandy says
I bake at 375 for many cookie recipes, but for me it seems that the ones with oats do well at 350 degrees. They stay softer in the center and don't brown too quickly. 🙂
