Ingredients

For the Chocolate Cookie Dough:

1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup black cocoa powder
3 tablespoons crushed Oreos (about 2 Oreos)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Frosting:

4 oz cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons butter, softened

3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup strawberry jam (chunky, divided)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon strawberry flavoring (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Cookie Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, black cocoa powder, crushed Oreos, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to complete the cookie dough.

Step 2: Bake the Cookies

Scoop out 2-tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Slightly flatten the dough balls with your palm or the back of a spoon to give them that signature Crumbl shape.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Make the Frosting

In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and strawberry flavoring (if using), and mix until well combined.
Gently fold in half of the strawberry jam, leaving some streaks for added texture and a burst of strawberry flavor.

Step 4: Assemble the Cookies

Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread a generous layer of the strawberry cheesecake frosting onto each cookie.

Top each cookie with a small dollop of the remaining strawberry jam for a fresh, fruity finish.

Additional Tips

Use High-Quality Jam: For the best strawberry flavor, use a good-quality strawberry jam. You can also try making your own strawberry compote for a fresh, homemade touch.

Chill the Dough: If you find that the dough is too soft to work with, chill it in the fridge for 15-30 minutes before baking. This will make the dough easier to handle and help the cookies hold their shape better.
Customize the Frosting: Add extra flavor to the frosting by mixing in a little lemon zest or a splash of orange juice for a citrusy twist.
Make Smaller Cookies: If you prefer smaller cookies, you can scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough instead of 2 tablespoons. Just be sure to reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes.

Store Them Right: To keep the cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. They can also be stored in the fridge for an extended shelf life.

FAQ Section

Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, you can swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check the other ingredients for gluten.
Can I use a different flavor of jam?
Absolutely! You can substitute the strawberry jam with raspberry, blueberry, or even peach jam for a unique twist.

Can I freeze these cookies?
Yes, these cookies freeze very well. Once fully cooled, store them in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature.
Can I skip the Oreos?
Yes, you can omit the crushed Oreos if you prefer a simpler chocolate cookie base. The Oreos add texture and extra flavor but are not necessary for the recipe.
How can I make these cookies more chewy?
To make the cookies chewier, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch to the dough and slightly underbake them for a softer center.

Can I make these cookies without the frosting?
While the frosting adds a delicious layer of flavor, you can certainly enjoy these cookies on their own without it. Just bake the chocolate cookies and enjoy as is!
Can I use whipped cream instead of cream cheese for the frosting?
Whipped cream is lighter, but it will not hold up as well as cream cheese frosting. If you want a lighter frosting, you can try a whipped cream cheese frosting instead.
**What

if I don’t have strawberry flavoring?**
The strawberry jam already provides plenty of strawberry flavor, so the strawberry flavoring is optional. If you don’t have it, just skip it and your frosting will still taste delicious.

Can I use another type of chocolate for the cookie base?
Yes, feel free to use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet, depending on your taste preferences.
Are these cookies suitable for a party?
Definitely! These cookies are large, beautiful, and perfect for sharing at a party. They’re a crowd-pleaser for sure.
